i am having problems speaking
lay awake at night
and say

that the winter has discovered
as many cracks as there are in the house
and lets itself in,
we share like this.

we share in silence.

and i will say, tonight,
that

i have found
the secret of existence, that it rests
on the shoulders of mountains

just waiting for faith to come and move them.
just waiting for our mouths to make them live.
