because even if we say nothing
and do nothing more
than lie beside each other,
the space between us
speaks,
our bodies (eyes
closed, thighs
close) speak
for us,
exchange vibrations we can't see
through an atmosphere we exhale into, in-
hale out of,
where vibrations of our music
run on playgrounds
unseen
and build houses
invisible
upon which we grow
together
and apart
