Mind Readers<\/i><\/p>\n
You listen to me for a long time and write something. I\u2019m getting nervous, I hate invisible things, especially those in front of my eyes. Every sentence and seam of my clothing runs through your mind, and I start to wonder if everything is tied up neatly, if there is no button looser than the others on my jacket, are the washed glasses stacked bottom up in the kitchen. We are at home, it feels like home. My words slowly turn into a curtain, darkening the room, veiling us in a soft light that makes our pupils dilate a little. Your glass is like bone, mine is the same but lighter. The night is as young as your hands, the time exploded.<\/i><\/p>\n
Each syllable stretches, becomes hardly familiar. I talk until I realise I\u2019ve been silent all along, you\u2019re far away, sleep is taking over. Creeping plants penetrate the foundations, people entangled in them speak the language of birds, one day we will know it too. For now, our soft fabrics are hanging on bone hangers, unmoved by the wind, we are comfortable and warm, we are stable. The black picture behind your vertebrae gets brighter the longer I look. Darkness, like you, takes time getting used to.<\/i><\/p>\n
