you kept listening ~ to all that I did not say ~ then you understood — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

our vernacular ~ the silences we dare share ~ to understand — ©Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

Misapprehenshion

such an oddity ~ even with the same language ~ we don’t understand — Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

Perceptiveness

filled with deep insight ~ your vowels sauntering through me ~ allowing stillness — Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

Dialect

always something new ~ as I read and read again ~ a body’s still words

Shared words

our common language ~ cannot be a spoken one ~ yet we understand

Wordless

only one ‘always’ ~ the language of our bodies ~ grammar with no words

Our language

those deaf to silence ~ will not understand the words ~ born from our stillness

Misunderstandings

such an oddity ~ even with the same language ~ we don’t understand
