Daybreak
What if at daybreak
You saw two suns rising
Each facing the other,
Its mirror –
How would you tell
East from west
Or would you take this
As a sign
That you are
Your own compass
Clues
What gave me away?
My voice?
The way I hold my hands?
The way my hips move
When I walk?
Or the way my eyes followed you
Across the room?
