Spying Together
I felt ashamed
looking through that portal
caring for what I saw,
though uncommitted as yet.
We were silent
like sarcophagi,
making an inner vow
to leave this untouched,
never to enjoin ourselves
to this shadow game.
You stood breathless
and defied motion.
Your eyes belied
the movement of
your pulsed wrists
which pounded
against your sides,
an indictment
neither of us could deny.
Not another step.
We turned away,
never to forget.
