55 - what you say when you breathe

when our love was young,
we would talk on the telephone
until we ran out of words &
then just sit and listen
to each other breathe,
as if it was some archaic
language between our hearts...

...beside you tonight i hum
along, as you speak those
same tongues, in your sleep,
savoring every syllable.
