flutterby night

tricked by unseemly
light, cave creatures blink
once, then twice.

this is about the book
you have yet to read, pages
flapping—oversized moth wings

the actress invents the curtain
for the stumbling diplomat
who forgets how to lose

between tense chapters,
your future scolds your past
for those sullen little lies you told
when you hoped I would be watching.

I was.
