Perhaps it is a dream.

I will probably wake up in a few moments and find myself half awake,  on your couch

trying to remember what I had to drink last night.  

 

Yet,                              I have blinked.   

waking into a world that includes an empty apartment in a hollow city with no living creature within ear shot.   

A park full of trees without birds makes no sound at all. 

 

So                               perhaps,  the world has blinked.

some part of the universe has tilted 

leaving us with no peers, only echoes 

 

 

And we open our eyes                                         to find 

two sides of a mirror that cannot be crossed and each other

alone
