One plus one

Darkly veiled you sat in your chair and watched me
(Sitting by you tongue-tied, lacking in language,
Counting up the reasons, sound and rational, di-
Viding you from me),

Lightly traced your fingers – positive, natural –
Fraction by smooth fraction, argued, persuaded:
One and one joined can make surely more than the
Sum of each other.
