Caught
She's talking
well
it's more than that
see
there are words floating across her lips
and spilling, tracing over and lifting off her tongue
out of her and into being
surrounding me, her, them, us
filling the room
and
this moment makes me lean forward, my senses dazzle
And for one sharp, breathless moment we catch eyes
to the point where I cannot think, or react, or
pretend I wasn't eavesdropping.
