the space between      and      holds

what was              what might

never quite           almost

the distance from      to      measures

nothing               everything

in the gap where       meets      

silence               silence

words lean toward      but never

touch                 arrive

the breath before      the pause after

speaking              listening

here                  there

the relation          the relation

unmarked              marked

by its own           absence
