Analysis of Whitespace
Ask your questions,
Weigh my words.
They are not adequate,
just crumbs, grains of sand
of what needs to be said.
And also take the in-between realm,
the white in which they are caught,
because no story can exist
if not with sight and hearing
a heart is connecting things.
Allow me also to your silences,
love,
let me there ̶
shoveling in the snow ̶
discover your deeper traces,
extract from frozen ground.
I want to warm your nights
in between rigid lines.
