The shadows have been silent
The mirror holds only one image now
The only dangerous desire
is in my fading dreams
A celebration
operatic in its excess
and I see him
hiding everywhere
behind everyone
Until he is
flesh and bone and blood red
with more than a song
to ensnare us all
He pulls me
and I answer
for in all the silence
I never unlocked the chains
between us
