| miscommunication |
| this miscommunication; |
| missed communications, |
| our messages sealed |
| in fragile bottles of hope, |
| missing each others' |
| steadfast islands |
| swayed in |
| the currents' indifference |
| downed telegraph lines |
| leaking their precious |
| pulses into the ground, |
| wires twisting in gravel |
| seeking their place |
| in the sky, reunion |
| with the half |
| they were torn from |
| shouts and whispers |
| secrets, confessions |
| uttered under cold waters, |
| words bubbling skyward |
| unheard as we're |
| sinking, |
| this wordless drowning |
| in silence |
