Dwelling of the Other

Closing in, pressing around 
It's only the freedom of movement 
No volition to lend its constraint 
Physical forces in moment 

Minimum support from surrounding air
Weak random pushes of pressure 
Touching skin so to cancel the warmth 
Ambiguous feeling of pleasure 

So on to the void, emptiness compromised 
A need to expand without limit 
When movement discovers a new boundary 
Supporting an Other within it
