Windy bustle
On this night reminded
My prompt upon your door
Desperate for invitation
Yet, afraid to knock
Without excuse
Should your absence
Introduce another
Duo in perch
One inside
The other out
Pane between us
Blurred by the rain
Cast as the stranger in the alley
Collared by secrets
Hush...
Lest ears hear
Or eyes see
What cannot hide
Each time the light
Reveals the truth
In us
