Comfort

This habit of being,

of being together,

of being comfortable in contact,

fitting naturally into the curves and hollows

of each other

provides a wordless nourishment,

a sense of home never achieved

by staid convention 

or polite conversation

Our bones know

this is what we need:

We put our hands together

to feel the shared vibration,

we put our heads together

to hum as one.
