Silent me

A caught zipper

A jammed door

A fixed picture

Nothing more

 

He tries

They try

I don’t

 

A smile creeps

From my silence

As i walk away

 

It widens when i see you

It stains my pallid cheeks

I turn and then see him

Same expression as I

Though not mutual

 

You step into the distance

Fading in the crowd

My voice is caught

He stares

Snap

The photograph is taken
