For our souls are scuffed, and we

No longer are blinded by shiny newness, we can dance you

And I in a random queue where your blood shot eyes tell

Me the pages of war have left you in no mans land.

We nod to the silence of our own nights and dance with all the

Ears curious at our strangeness.

We can meet in our understanding but our handshake will be

Our hello and goodbye

It's been a dance

The tins are in order in your cupboard but the freezer

Is on in your bed.

I am special in no mans land

But the dance will end

You will fight your demons

And I will never return

It was like a scene from a movie and they did not speak but knew what each had to say or think. Very vivid in imagery & sad. And I will never return put a lump in this reader's throat.
