sea.breeze.

dark
black
still waters
seduced
by the shadowy breeze

all it can manage, still
is a faint ripple

the breeze
gets closer

her aeriform
gliding
sliding
slithering
over
his stoic
arrested
fluidity

he still
lies there
still

a watery mass
carved
in gravestone

her
tos and fros
his
listless frowns

morrow till dusk till dawns

she tries
all she can
till she goes from
husky to hoarse

he
moves not
not one edge

she
does not quit
her nibbling
and sweet talks

still nothing.

he suffers a silence
which runs deep
self humiliation
masked as
indignation

she suffers
a rejection
as visible
as her invisible being

together
they live
separately

like parallel lines
who live each other's
lives
but
never meet

she speaks by writing

she writes.
when no one watches.

she writes.
when she is alone.
and leaves herself behind.

she writes.

not on pages.
not with ink.

she writes.
on the grains of sand.

each grain.
a chapter
a book
a life
in itself.

she writes on them.
and sets them sailing.

the wind in their sails.
she is.

taking her words.
to distant shores.

languages change.
with each roll of the grain.

she speaks by writing.
to friendly strangers.

she dedicates each word.
in her gracious solitude.

with gratitude.
she writes.

when no one watches.
