what is this
reflection in the mirror?
the most beautiful
person in the world,
because
without her
there is no beauty.
the kindliest
person on the planet,
because
without him
there is no kindness.
we are the yin
& the yang of the stormy
sea––
rising up
with the determination of
water
with the crystal heart of
salt.
we are the ocean
made of beaches, sky &
clouds.
the planet made of
space.
the cosmos made of
emptiness.
there is nothing,
not even in the
imagination that
does not touch, that does not
heave
with the
sea.
there are no nerves
or bones or fingers
which do not point
to the beginning
or
embody
the end.
