Meeting
two neighbors meet for the first time unknown to each other, they share
similar interests and lives
“Do they help you feel less lonely?
(I once read that was true.)”
invited to each other’s apartments,
the two try to connect,
though the first attempt is made with little tact
the sunlight merely highlights the scalding remark
“Do they make you
feel like you have friends?
(Or do they help you escape?)”
the response is given venom, in retaliation
but there are signs of progress,
she sits comfortably in the space,
bathed in the moon’s light
