I don't need company
I carry you around in my head
And if I want to speak to you
I do
And I try to work out how you would respond
To my thought pictures
I hear your tone, your timbre
Your pause
Your tangent
See your stare, your blink
Your unkempt eyebrow raise
Your tongue poke
Through your wetted lip
I taste your imagined words
As you jigsaw another shade
To my thought pictures
That float in my head
