Not finger on skin,
lip on lip
and other felt things
made for quivering and sigh.
no,
it is a heartbeat blend
the twirl of thought with thought
word on word
phrase within phrase
and a comforting
that defies distance,
outlasts togetherness.
'[from the collection 'The underside of silence', shortlisted for the Gratiaen Award 2008]
