making love with only words

i like how we are
heavy, without
tipping the scale.
beautiful, without
makeup and mirrors.
dancing, without
listening to music.
wanting, without
needing.

i like how we
don't need poems
to be poetic.
how you say so much
without speaking.
by just breathing
next to me.

i like how we
learn so much
without knowing.
by just glowing
in the bright spots.

my eyes are closed
and i can
see you.
