umbilical
ovenbird 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.
