Now, don’t look

Don’t see at all

Don’t hear glass shatter

Don’t feel gray dust

Don’t smell the awful

Don’t taste harsh grit

Just don’t look

Don’t see things fall

Don’t hear the voices

Don’t feel sweat trickle

Don’t smell rank fear

Don’t taste the acrid

Please don’t look

Don’t see the posters

Don’t hear the thunder

Don’t feel the wounds

Don’t smell the candles

Don’t taste the people

Now, don’t look

Don’t see the void

Don’t hear rage call

Don’t feel hands absent

Don’t smell the burning

Don’t taste revenge

Now, just be

Just close your eyes

Just hear my heart

Just feel my face

Just smell my skin

Just taste my kiss

Just be, with me, together.
