lineage


if
we
are light
then we must
travel by way of
the line, return to the opaque
objects, offer them our apologies, make distant
encounters feel ordinary as evening and the conifer’s outline in the grass.
if we are shadows, we must live by small desires
in faded garments, passed between
bodies, born out of
circumstance.
here to
be
seen.
