I thought I caught her thoughts
Passing by the window
At first, I thought of birds
Of passing strangers
It’s normally nothing
Tricks of light and shadow
Optical illusions
Causing confusion
You see I need to know her thoughts
For time has rusted
I can see them on her face
Sometimes
Like clouds passing through her eyes
Into snow drifts
It’s no fault of mine
I feel I’ve tried
Maybe she is truthfully
Uninspired
But lives inside our lives
Only dancing
