We talk a lot, it can be
about everything, carefully
when it becomes intimate
and we explore how far
we dare to show ourselves
how shamelessly
curious we're allowed to be
about what is hidden
in uncertainty
longing
for the confirmation
that it is good
and we are good
as we are
as we live
in each other's attention
