Someone

Cassie Margalit, ‘27

 Someone 

slinking silent

above my gaze.

Someone

who doesn’t think

I’ll notice.

I take you

someplace hidden

away.

Struggling

but you forget.

Hush love

we have things

to do.

Hush love

beneath my gaze.

Your silence

sings a lullaby

seizing and powerful.

A sweet lullaby

for the buried-alive.
