Elke Nigro - In Hiding

Thrilling to the verbal landscape
of your Love,

I take tiny sips
of commas that dropp like raindrops
from your lips

while I disappear in-between and
behind your words,

trying to assess their genuineness.

And as I continue my leisurely stroll
along the meandering paths of your
verbal landscape,

I briefly stop at your question mark
to pause and ponder

at your Declaration of Love,
trying to measure the weight of it.

I meet your question with silence
quickly duck behind it,
but just as quickly change my mind.

I no longer want to hide.

Elke Nigro
