- Where Are You?, and: Dream
Where Are You?
Behind my eyes In tandem with them
Self centered Here I am
Dream
His staring eyes know I am there behind the door— Peephole open— For one moment His still face glows
I let them in She follows him Hugging the wall Not to touch me In the dim hall I do not move [End Page 91]
