the language always fails

even her best attempts
to convey how he moves
the wind around
in the attic where her
dreams are born….

return void…

the blending of sounds, the marriage
of consonants and vowels, the formation
of mono/multi-syllable words, accents,
punctuation

still fall short
of who he is
how/
what he does in that
space between
her temples


inside her house
there is another stirring;
evidence of
open gates,
embers glowing warmly upon
her hearth,
doors ajar

no forceable entry ~

no strangers here...

but there is no adequate way
for her to say

he is the key...
