Once more

a thousand people watch me.
i watch them back.
they are on the other side
behind the door.

wherever the door leads.

i dont know where or what it is, but from there..

they stand.
they watch.
they do not blink.
they do not breathe.

i close my eyes, and i hear their voices, see their thoughts skipping across my eyelids
i open my eyes,
they are gone.

once more, i am alone.
