Dumb intimacy
In your presence I am silentAnd in my presence you are.
Between us silence is comfortable.
Is not it itself a proof
That we are bound by affinity.
I am a man and you, a woman.
Is not that itself a proof
That it is more than affinity.
Let us not reveal what it means,
To spare us of that embarrassment.
Let us be dumbly intimate.
That intimacy is more sounding;
That silence is more sounding.
