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.
