Doubling Boundaries
You had me at Aloha
all through Aloha again,
between banks of outdoor clouds
sailing sigh,
some lighter whiter
faster,
some darkly starkly stable
yet even these passing through
this invite and disinvite farewell
Aloha
You greet me as Shalom
through our health as wealth commencement,
fleeing indoor fleeting noise
for outsized peace
flights of radiant fancy
seeing colors
revolving cultures inside out
where we belong
in our less seething sheathed Shalom.
Are we only our inside resonant voices
ending at odds
where outside resilience begins?
Our outside voices
ending eventually within,
evenly without,
within and between
clouds both bright incoming
and dark outgoing
Greeting
and regretting
in-between Aloha.
