Questions For a Stranger Ii

Who is your god?
Who is your friend?
I could sit here for eternity
Asking questions like
Who is your lover?

Do you feel the shade of a linden tree between your lips?
Do you trust a swan gliding across a lake?
Do you read poetry at sundown or sunup?
Do you like the fusing of words?
Do you like the fusing of worlds?

If so, what is the difference?
Who is your lover?
Who is your god?
Who is your friend?
Who is your-my-self?
