languages

the space art takes when
two minds endeavor to
communicate—

the purpose of laughter
a textured voice like
degrees of warmth in sunlight

why language at all?

also try:
outlined eyes
perfume
stepped heels
a soft hand on the arm
jewels
gold

lift of wind
linen on skin
count of syllables
spoken
or told

absorbed?
reflected?

birdsong.
a memory twists sentences in passing.
a note blown on the floor.
