the fireplace

we rub our hands
in front of the fire and say
nothing.
we let the flames
talk, the wind of heat,
the crackle of wood,
the floating of ashes
rising up the chimney.
what is there to say.
what haven't we said?
let's just watch the flames
and keep warm
before one of us leaves,
and the other one
stays.
