Silence
between you and me
and the crashing
of the sea
no sound is heard
but that of seagulls
circling in the sky
drop by drop
silence trickles
lengthening each
moment
before it runs dry

The streets of Seville keep
their best secrets hidden in the dark -
in moonlight’s soft sheenI bare all that I am
-
I try
to find words for warhow it wrecks, how it feels
but
there is no language I find
to reach -
I will weave you garlands
of dazzling wisteria
twine the flowers , , , -
why love?
no one knows but
everyone does
