The Quiet Between Lines

The quiet between lines
is where the truth lives.

Not the words themselves—
those are only the lanterns.

But the space between them,
where breath gathers,
where the page waits,
where the reader leans closer
without realizing why.

Every poem is a small conspiracy
between silence and ink.

And the reader,
if they are paying attention,
is always in on it.
