"silence is so accurate"
—Mark Rothko
Every evening
you sit close,
bodies pressed
against each other.
Every night
your sleeping spines
spiral like
the Milky Way
beside each other.
You leave no spaces.
You leave no room
for misunderstanding.
How easy it is
to live in peace
with animals.
How accurately
love can be conveyed
in silence.
~ Kirsten Dierking, from Northern Oracle
