Are you okay = What is wrong?
What are you thinking = Where are you?
I love you = Do you love me?
We are forever unable to ask
the questions —
Truly say the things
we are trying to say.
Language
Fails us
Frequently.

We are forever unable to ask
the questions —
Truly say the things
we are trying to say.
Language
Fails us
Frequently.
In circles that flow
during dream-time,
a step to the side.
A whisper to the left.
Two-step toward possibility.
Your voice in my ear
hushed tones of my name
spoken a thousand miles away.
There you are – living normally
where you are – I live normally
too, except for that vast space
of empty, during dream-time.
A whisper to the left,
A step to the side, two-step
in circles that flow. This
is how we dance.
