arab

inspired by 'Arabe' by Juan Munoz


your eyes are shut
if for a fleeting moment
they were ajar
would they look through me
trespassing
an intruder

just one quick glance
a brief acknowledgement
of my presence
would it make me feel
uneasy
uninvited

your world is sealed
ears tuned to inner music
I cannot hear
to know what you're thinking
would it be
unbearable
