Redacted

6/25/20

Redacted.
It’s all been redacted.
When I saw you looking,
No, staring at me.
I knew you were redacted.
‘Cause all the eye could see
Was me
Looking at nothing,
Staring at a sewer on the street
Reacting,
As if you were redacted.
Deleted from the screen.
Staring straight at me,
A darkness, No, a blackness.
Your eyes were as dark as me.
As if I was redacted,
Yes, if I was redacted.
When I saw you,
In the sewer on the street,
I knew nothing could help me
Because I was redacted.
I was deleted from the screen.
All I could see was a blackness
When I looked me in my eyes
From a sewer,
On the side of the street.
Yes, it’s redacted.
Oh, it’s all been redacted.
Swept from the surface of the street,
Into a sewer,
Glaring down at me
Was a blackness,
Making the eyes see nothing,
As they looked right back at me.
Redacted.
It’s all been redacted.
