Expressions What are they - Feelings?
Do you call them that?
What else- what choice do you have?
You have no vocab
know it by touch, the warmth-
by the look
what passes from there to you
by h or a k - alpahbets are a bore
let us not confine this into them-
forget it- you know what I mean..
tenderness, welling feelings-
passion? physical ? sexual ?
some resonance?
connection?
OK, we won't try to express,
But they pour out
by themselves
into a wordlessness
in a touch.
