the sum of we

you and me
we fall into slipstream
fields of possibility
where we are neither
ourselves
(bound by blood)

for too long
I hung on
tightly
pulling umbilicals
as if I could hold
you
who could hold
you?

then I flew kites
learned
reeling in
letting go

surrendering forever
to the beyond
between
life and death
you and me
we are one
and then some
we are two
one of the few
who make three
that trinity where
we are everything
and nothing
together
or apart
we are.

we are.

(For Kyle).

Hey Chachi... you know I don't think so. I reckon at some level "we" is just an extension of "me".

'we' is such a complicated concept. Just a construct so that we don't feel too alone, or a real knowledge of a self beyond our own?
