How do I get in
to you,
like you have
gotten into me?
Caught you hiding
in my dreams.
You drew me out
and I
wasn’t sure
they were my dreams
anymore.
How did you know
to call?
Did you hear my voice,
a distant echo
off some
mausoleum wall?
You said my name
at the perfect moment.
How could all of this
be anything but
some arrangement?
A shadow that lies
across many lives,
tying us together
as surely as a crime;
as surely as murder.
Are you walking around
in my head
right now?
Does your universe
overlap
with my own?
We are two
very separate beings
in this world.
What is this
strange circumstance
that seems to bring us
more than together?
It’s like
sharing lovers,
but we’re
somehow in
each other’s
consciousness.
I close my eyes
and there you are.
I open them
and you are back again.
How did you get in?
Did I leave
a window open?
