You, Sound, And I

Thandiwe Ngwenya

I like how our relationship
Has nicely tucked itself
In the small pockets of sound,
No lyrics. You and I get to choose
What this sound means.
It's different every morning.
I love it.

This sound is so perfectly placed;
Placed just next to our minds;
Our little community.
I love how we've locked ourselves in,
And how no-one is looking
To find the keys.
Instead, our minds hug.

I love our secret place.
