Dating : On the Air

Our transmission
ripples on the air,
a reverie of static
giving in to rhythms
carried underneath
the press of fingertips
conducting hidden waves
making their way up
to wade beneath our lips,
on tongues, once separate, 
kept asunder—now shifting 
shapes together,
tethered on a frequency
only we can share
