As I Talk To Me

we take comfort in our words
within them we are together
we are safe
our words celebrate,
a recital,
the vehicle of our arrival
brilliant, absurd

if a naked flag of silence unfurled
glory, we are here
not safe
though not sorry
are we but two pieces of a great story...?
brilliant, absurd

no
and no more words,
were your words
i want to see you in discomfort
feel you
hold you
know you
brilliant, absurd
