Distance

and when I feel a distance
between you and me,
I know that it is time
to close in on myself,
not to hide
or lick my wounds,
but to find myself
and what I had lost
in the distance
between you and me.

In the Dark

and I wondered why
the whole world
looked for light
in the name of oneness,
when it was darkness
that made things
look the same.

I Wish to Die

I wish to die
where two oceans meet,
where water becomes sky,
where rain becomes snow,
where fire becomes clouds;

I wish to die
where the wind becomes dust
upon a dancing sunbeam
floating through
an open window;

I wish to die
not in the glare of the sun, 
but in the darkness of the night,
where there are no Mondays
or Wednesdays, or months or years;

I wish to die
in the circle
that is a line
that is a dot
that is nothing.

I wish to die
in the silence
of words
that I know exist,
without a name.

and a drop of water
looked to the ocean
to see how it could die,
but could only find
a thousand ways to live.

Take Two

It takes two ends
of a thread
to make a knot.
It takes one end
to unravel it.

It takes two blades
of one scissor
to make a snip.
It takes one pair of
loving hands
to hug.

It takes two to make two.
It takes two to make one.
It takes one to make one.
So be.
You!
