Our Dance in Numbers.

I know Your Name.

By Cathy (Christine Acheini) Ben-Ameh.Published 7 months ago 1 min read

The day begins at 14:57
and starts to soften by 22:27

At midnight
the dance begins
a stirring in the silence
a shimmer in the dark

Then sleep
at least for me
You don’t sleep
You never do

My alarm fails again
I wonder why

But at 03:02
you tap me gently
a number pressed into the veil

At 04:13
you return
Then 05:13
Then 05:31

Each time a message
Each time a touch
