nothing left to say

old couples,
together
for decades,
are done with talking.
they use
their eyes or hands, or
shoulders,
to communicate.
it's easier that way.
they wink,
and shrug, nod.
scratch an ear
or smile.
it's a language all
their own
earned the hard way,
leaving them with nothing
left to say.
