Communicate?
How?

Words are insufficient half the time I’m
Holding dripping emotion you can never 
Touch, up goes the ante….

But at least I try

Your silence screams,
The resonating bell that never fades out
A physical thing tearing into my head

My head, your mouth
Like a cup nest empty and brittle
Lead the way: I don’t know how
But you don’t recognise your own strength

Wrapped and running,
Stand and sing – 

Words are insufficient
But silence is unbearable

A yearning to fill it, fill you, fill me
Enfolded, emboldened, enclosing
Kiss and breathe

Your fingers desperate clutch 
At what you can’t keep

I’m clinging to your shoe
Don’t, don’t
But do

Just talk to me 

Say anything
