Two Women Dancing: A Journey in 100 Steps

We set out. The road: a manuscript of lives.

You and I: present tense, imperfect aspect.

.

Your breath harmonizes with the wind.

I collect it in the spaces between my ribs.

.

Night unfolds its dark fabric. We walk.

Time: a shared burden, lighter for the carrying.

Our silence: heavy with unspoken languages.

.

Eyes meet. Suddenly: recognition.

Not of the path, but of you.

Unfolding: like a flower in reverse video,

human blossoming from stillness.

.

No traveler steps on the same path twice.

We say: No couple walks the same journey twice.

The voyage is not the road, but the continuous

translation of self into other, and back again.

.

In this motion, we find our stillness.
