Looking Back

I used to look across at you and see a single shot.

Now I look across and see a hallway of empty frames

and they’re full of unheard vows and unused names

They’re all reflecting back at me, changing panes -

moving backward out of view, until they’re not

I no longer look across at you, I look back and smile
