Faces Pass

Faces pass
obscured
unrecognized

Eyes
my eyes
gaze down at the sidewalk
made of brick
patterns
tar, gum and reffuse

Do i know you?
passing faces?
You look once and keep on going
even though my heart
remains still with you
aching to be spoken to

Embedded in the silence
the heart
my heart
grows quieter
with every passing moment
and with the vastness of emptiness
comes with it bittersweet sadness
