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
