WE HAVE WAYS WE MOVE UPON
AND WITHIN EACH OTHER

We have ways we move upon
and within each other
that are rarely said
by anyone.
But we can look through
another's eyes
into vast, spacious places
beyond the bounds of sense.
The passage there
is always open,
though we be a closed door.
*
Do we know the mystery of anyone, anymore?
*
Someone may suddenly run out there
naked, like a young child
happy in summer.
God flies his kites
in a boundless sky:
"Did I ever really know you?"
we say into an open coffin
and cry.
*
We have ways we move upon
and within each other
that are rarely said
by anyone.
