Live Thing

Understanding is a conspiracy
for those who don't understand do not know
that we do, sometimes only two, but two 
is enough for the sweetest deepest stuff

connected secretly with encryption
to other pairs similarly bonded
in knowing that the other understands
what need no longer be said to be clear

understanding easily finds a way
through the claws of  intricate detection
because it stays quieter than quiet,
does not show the signs of least disturbance

to be frank, description is encryption
because words lose the live thing they have hooked
