sonnet twenty five

we are odd bookends
of silence and voice,
of disdain and desire,
of being and nothingness,

but ask me anything
and it would be given
we end with a notion:
to be each other's

silence, desire, being,
becoming, metaphor, reality,
sweeping, beguiling, arresting

cradled and embraced only
by your hands that knew
my faults and held them.
