“Suddenly I felt a misty consciousness as of something forgotten, a thrill of returning thought, and somehow the mystery of language was revealed to me”
–Helen Keller
I hear
what you have
to say,
and listen to the textures
of your words
as well;
sifting and resifting
our small talks
for more;
as if any
conversation
could contain
more
than words
provide,
or more
between us
than our muted
desires can
desires can
sustain.
