What Were We
What were we?
Trees in the forest,
Whose twigs, when it rains,
Have less chance to brush each other’s greens,
Just for a little while?
Road ends
Which, when all circulation has passed,
Never get a chance to talk,
But just keep staring at one another
Like traveling light?
Like the birds’ wings
Which, when birds stretch
Do not dream of “touch”?
Like an ocean’s ends,
Which stare at the same moves
But never talk about it?
Too close but never near one another
Isn’t that strange?
What is the suspect here?
Will it keep going like this?
I just made my own move
And I’ll stay right behind you
If I want to move forward.
And you know what,
You’ll see me,
Because I will not make myself visible to your eyes.
That’s it, now what next?
Happy with it?
