I saw your reflection. Or I thought I did.
Right next to mine.
Just for a second. Long enough to remember too much.
Or maybe the river’s just playing tricks again.
They say it steals voices after midnight. I used to laugh at that. Now I don’t know.
Sometimes I think it’s true.
Sometimes I think it’s where all our words went. The ones we never said. The ones we said too late.
