Shadows of flames dance
across their
pale and
sweaty faces
deepening the
wrinkles on
both wrinkled
foreheads
eyes bowing
over a scripted
problem
not knowing
where
or why
to find
the missing
particle

Both try hard
tried hard
to consult
uplift
amend
each other
in this sweaty
slightly devastating
search

Both try
like always
to stick to their very own
defining
way and manner of doing
and speak in such a way that
they don't need to fear the
loosing of themselves

Yet both
and this is new

face

each other
with a little more
curiosity
a little more
edgy
allowing the
tingling between
their legs just
a little more

Still
unconsciously
giving time to
themsleves
their selves
to see
fully
the shiny faces
to face
courageously
each other's
shiny eyes
