We
are
a
smear
of
ink
on
a
blank
page
.
Our
bodies
are
a
comma
,
suspended.
We
are
breath
bearing
every
word
that
might
pass
between
us
.
We
are
a
pause
that
exhales.
We
sleep
.
Our
arms
are
anchors
that
hold
us
steady
in
the
ocean
of
each
other's
dreams
.
We
are
embryonic,
twin
minds
joined
at
the
corpus
callosum,
sharing
the
umbilical
blood
that
keeps
our
hearts
beating
.
We
quicken.
And
no
one
can
say
what
we
might
become
.
