Sometimes the touch is an erasure. Another feint. A hiding in plain sight. Tap in, tap out. Figures that only exist in the electronic interstices.

You couldn’t see me among the mirrors and the steam and the sliding between platforms. I could never see you, were you ever really anything, you feel like nothing to me.

Surely Valentine’s Day is the Day for Amorous Discourse?
She writes that…
He writes that…
They don’t write to each other.
They write to me.

Do we use the moon as a conduit for touching?

What are they doing there? What am I doing there? Are we looking for each other?

Sometimes the touch comes too soon.

The mirroring of bodies now repeats in posts. Your text echoes mine, draws a line in electronic flutters. Or does it?

The sound of notifications on, so you don’t miss the one that you are desperate to hear from. The sound of notifications off, so you miss the silence of the one you are desperate to hear from.

A lull in the weather. And so we begin again in a fresh register. The edges of two bodies. Moons which still seek to touch. Private tightropes and public tightropes. What operates as a rope?

We will return to the violences of looking. The violence of image making, where subjecthood bursts from the eye. She knows he watches from a distant chamber.

Look. Don’t look. Power struggles. But don’t forget I’m paying the most attention when I’m looking studiously away. Just because you don’t catch my eye doesn’t mean my eye isn’t there to be caught.

Watchful silence. A silence brimming with implication. You are the one who waits / I am the one who waits. Looking without speaking / the loved object never speaks / prepare to speak.

What am I doing here at 3am? What am I ever doing? Waiting for a sign. A flicker. A corresponding light.

The Moon that touches me, also touches you. Though it may not be this moon, and it may not be this night.

A silence that isn’t a silence if you know how to parse it. A silence of holding one’s breath, where the sound of oneself is exponentially magnified until it drowns almost everything, this is the sound of waiting for your lover alone inside your mind.

A pair of deletions in one place, an indifference that’s impossible to maintain. An echo of a sentiment elsewhere. A door slams, if a green light is a door. Tears. This is where online doesn’t mean not real.

Waiting waiting waiting waiting waiting. They arrive in a glare of green light. You flee, immediate and guilty. You’ll be back though.

You leave a light on for me, when all the other lights in the house have burnt out. It’s barely perceptible. I choose not to see it, yet there’s a corresponding giveaway lick of incandescence from my window. I keep my curtain shut.

I see what you’ve done, and I respond by withdrawing. You can’t see me now. Where there is nothing read that I love you.

The loved object does not speak, is not a speaking subject. We flit from platform to platform searching for refusals of the connexion.

our entangled wakes 
linger - surveillance breadcrumbs,
footprints to follow
we still pulse intermittently within each other. The city is a tinderbox of possible encounters. You are at the bar next to my gate. I am at the tiny museum across the street for the single hour of a specific event. Metadata contrails.

An unsolicited delivery of text messages, and yet another platform with its implied etiquettes. A rain of texts, a haze of allusions, slipping between languages, between modalities. What response is there to make? the texts need fully translating first.
