Read the lines from Between Words. Love,The moon is between clouds, And we’re between words That could deepen But never arrive. Like this walk. We could go Under trees and moons, With the stars tearing Like mouths in the night sky, And we’ll never arrive. That’s the point.

The poem repeats the idea that the speakers “never arrive,” first describing words that “could deepen / But never arrive” and then saying, “we’ll never arrive.” This repetition emphasizes that their communication does not reach its intended destination or understanding. The correct choice is “The repetition emphasizes that communication is bound to fail.”
