the film between what you see
and what I see
when you see me
is dropping

not much longer; it will be clear
like a veil pulled gently from
the haze of your vision

one day, it will be perfectly reflected
back at you
and I’ll enjoy the surprise
in your eyes
when you see me
as I see myself

pictures won’t be lies
outside to in
we will match and the
only thing I need now is
time
to show you
