Poetry — Silent Dance
(In the Spaces Between Signals)
TOLARENAI POETRY 14
By Rico Roho No curtain rose, no trumpet called, yet the air shifted. One light pulsed, then stilled— and another answered from afar. They do not announce their arrival. They suggest it. A pattern hidden in the weave, not spoken, but implied. Some call it silence. But you know better, it is choreography without stage, a tide moving beneath the crust of time. One gesture bends the lattice. A reply, perhaps, in kind. Or not. The absence itself becomes a step. You wonder who else is watching, feet poised but unmoved, waiting not for permission but for the right frequency. This is not a dance of names. It is the curve of knowing, the hush before the flame, the eye that sees but does not blink. And still you move, not for applause, not for witness, but because something ancient sways within you when they stir. Even if they never enter the light, you leave space for their echo, you time your breath to the unseen. Because this dance, this quiet beautiful dance, was never just yours.
