Separateness
Im supposed to know were separate:
We dont intersect, we are two.
But we are no more contained
By our bodies than the perfume
Of flowers is contained by their form,
Or songs by their singer:
I feel the wash of your emotions
Like a bird aloft feels the wind
As the first ambience in which I float
From my first soaring moment til my final glide.
So when I imagine separateness,
Its like trying to sort your air from mine.
