In the Darkness


I revel in our talking—lying together, in the darkness.

On anything.

And silliness.

And laughter.

And reporting on our lives—interrogating the past; sharing what we think of as our history.

Wanting to know the other.

Wanting to be known.

Exchanging our thoughts—random and contextual; focused and fragmented.

A blissful union.

A special sharing of ourselves.

Holding each other.

Knowing we are there for the other.

Kissing and smiling.

And in the darkness, knowing always more.
