Borders
Dedicated to you,
I trace the edges of my skin.
Caressing the bounds,
tearing me whole,
finding only myself in the middle of forever.
To the boxes I seek to touch,
there is no outside.
I find that I am not confined.
As I border all, only transfixed by being unknown. -- fluid as we are, watered by the unknown.
Oh blessed unknown-
In the beginning,
I pretened to not know you.
But now I know you to be
the eternal, timeless mother of creation.
These threadbare openings may seem a bit shabby,
but that is no issue for a community strengthened by tragedy.
For our umbilical cord has never been cut,
reaching out I only find myself.
