Magpie Tales 155: Identity Theft



identity theft 


incognito plays
well in low light,
small crowds,
rooms without 
mirrors;

"haven't 
we met?" 
is so cliche,

so too, 
character. 

no one will 
notice, except
the upskirt 
artist or 
pervert with
his hands 
above the
table -  

your identity
safe only 
because his 
lips are sealed.

One Before Sleep....




voice 


to hear you 
whisper 
in darkness 
knowing 
there is breath 
and breadth
to your 
being 

is to know 
there is such
in mine 

and be 
grateful 
for that 
common 
gathering.
