_Between Words_

Between words,
 our silences pool in shallow fragments of sky under the liquid fingers
of evergreen trees and the monsoon _serein_. The sky drips endlessly from the branches,
and the drops fall wordless from the drenched green voices of the leaves.

What else is left for ourselves
 after the blue rain of this evening is gone? Between
your words and mine, our silences pool — and they are as much mine as they are yours.
