Sharon Dolin

When kissing is a form of covering
When hovering is a form of smothering
When lying is a kind of crying
When talking is a kind of dying
When explaining's the same as complaining
And feeling's the same as stealing
When breathing is more like seething
And adoring is close to cloying
When to meet is almost like blinding
To listen almost denying
Giving is most like raging
When leaving most like sighing
When silence is a way of parting
Silence       away         parting
