SAMIA SINGH

Does it need a title? Think about it.

1.


The old machine
like a big, sturdy turtle
making its way, slow...
through veils of translucency -

We
with our chilled cheekbones,
numb noses;
scan this strange landscape
marking the ends of this path
guiding our big turtle
step by step
through this dreamy darkness.

2.

we
you and me (I?)
sit together
move towards our shared destination
listening to our own preferences
our broken, disconnected thoughts

we
you and me
stare
outside these glass walls
at the same moon,
the same darkness
and the same city lights
through our different lives

we
you and me (I?)
soon
willl be far - (this line break really works)
back in our shared but own lives - (awkward sentence/syntax but it works)
it's only here now
our lives touch
on this cool ribbon of light - (this is the best line sound-wise and image wise)
