Autumn Twin Dwelling at the Bottom of a Lake

On most days

I pass for a man

but when I stand

in the sun,

I am sun.

When I walk

on the grass,

I am grass.

When I drink

a glass of fresh water

I am water.

When I love,

I am love.

When I am angry,

I am anger.

And when I hope,

I am hope.

And yet people think

I am only a man –

a face, a time, a place.

They think that

my business is life

and that it takes

all my time.

You are not like that.

You understand.

You are my mirror twin.

You dwell in silence.

  1. I don’t follow many people. Most only get it right occasionally. Your art is intensely personal and encompasses all, staying obscure and opening wide to those who look. Thank you.
