Between


The world begins a clearfield rose

an oyster shell, a white abode

a dazzling empty plane of thought

Explodes Explodes Explodes Explodes!

Then here we are

just you and me

and her and I

and she and we

and primrose pink and pthalo blue

and robin’s eggs and breaking cliffs

and maple trees and all that is

and also all the pain we feel

the horror show that makes love real

the threads we slowly pull apart

the yawning chasm in our hearts

then one by one we feel the web

vibrating underneath our feet

the dew drops sparkle in our eyes

like lazy spider lullabies

and back to white we travel on

through spinning space and dying suns

until we know what we’ll forget

that one is all and all is one.
