The unmatched intimacy of reading
Alone, the art of meeting in media
Finding meaning :

Whilom voices catapult beyond
All calculus,
Offering counsel and company .

Biology gone,
The ghost, an invited guest,
Whispers in one’s ear—
A comfortable challenge .

A silver stitchery
Fastens the patchwork
Of the cosmic quilt .
