Listening Faces
When we sat across from each other
in the place where we met
you talked about your nights by the fire
face listens
You talked about yourself
face listens
When we were lying next to each other
you told me what you wanted to do to me that night
every night
face listens
You imagined working at your dream job
face listens
You told me secrets of your friend’s wife
Strangers
face listens
You introduced me to them
face
You played me your favorite music
Bach makes me anxious.
