listen
to the drip
of language
as it puddles
across the space
in our conversations
listen within
the quiddity
to what
coagulates
like blood
to our margins
listen within
the presence
for the essence
of the word
which defines
our limits
listen
for the moment
when silence
and sound
fold into one
and become who we are
