An Incomplete Conversation
Anitha Devi Pillai
What if when our eyes meet
and one of us turns away,
will we fill the air with silence
or empty words, laying
it side by side
a question,
a nod, smile
empty talk?
I hope when my voice
reaches you
with stretched arms
in a whisper
across the table
at your favorite spot
you will hear me
in your heart.
