heir wedding picture mocked them from the table, these two whose minds no longer touched each other.

They lived with such a heavy barricade between them

that neither battering ram of words

nor artilleries of touch could break it down.

Somewhere, between the oldest child's first tooth and the youngest daughter's graduation, they lost each other.

Throughout the years each slowly unraveled that tangled ball of string called self, and as they tugged at stubborn knots, each hid his searching from the other.

Sometimes she cried at night and begged the whispering darkness to tell her who she was. He lay beside her, snoring like a hibernating bear, unaware of her winter.

Once, after they had made love,

he wanted to tell her how afraid he was of dying,

but, fearful to show his naked soul,

he spoke instead of the beauty of her breasts.

She took a course on modern art,

trying to find herself in colors splashed upon a canvas,

complaining to the other women about men

who are insensitive.
