Let Us Be

1.

You and I
hardly speak
out loud:  we
don't need this.

2.

We are immune
to the limitations
in both of us:

3.

there is a
symmetry here,
no barrier, no
stuck reed, no
secret, from
early morning
to late night
cell phone calls.

4.

I'll tell you
why it seems
we had been
together just
like yesterday,
and still are:

5.

you hesitate
resonate

and tell me
the horrible,
honest truth.
