You with those sad eyes
In the sallow light
Backdropped by electric blue

And me with the glass eye
Recorder of moments
Context only by supposition

I could not ask you then
What countenanced such sorrow
Or was it just an unguarded moment

Emotion apparent in an unintended gesture

I am left only with guesses
While you cannot even know
Someone reflects on this moment

From half a world away
