Common Language

i believe there is a common language.

it does not lie in our mouths
it does not lie in our minds
it does not lie in our hearts.

it is between our bones
between our skin

and in our eyes.

it is the way we move,
it is second nature.
it is what we don’t formulate
into a word.

it is the feeling of an entity
within.

i could have come to Spain,
to learn
that there is more
than language
that
connects us.

it is within us.
not seen.
not heard.
only held onto.

our link relies on being alive.
