Vacuums

Vacuums,
In our togetherness.
Menacing,
Threatening,
Getting bigger.

Trust, you know,
They exist.
And realise too,
With trepidation,
They do serve a purpose.

We come close,and
Collide.
Walking in opposite direction.
The Words,
Bounce off and return
Unheard.
Deprived of attention.

There is a comfort in your shadow,
As you trail,
My stride.
On our separate mental realms,
We stand our ground.
As if,
Almost, duty bound.

But,
We stay, resolutely
In our togetherness.
The space,
With our own nooks
A bubble encapsulating us,
Spacing us out,
Nevertheless...
