Bodies
Our fingertips are rhythm: the whorled waves of skin, the throb of pulse, the gentle tattooing of letters into words. The years of work.

Why in age do ears and nose still grow? To better embrace a whisper from our love, to drink the sweet heavy nectar of their sleeping breath.

We discover each other, over wide chasms and grave odds, the way one cello softly hums when the strings of another are bowed.
