That Point Where We Each Begin

Neville

That Point Where We Each Begin

Here, when we lay

like this

there is no need for

words at all

nor even mirrors ..

Somehow

we lose the want

of them ..

Here, when we lay

like this

where clarity and

clouding

do each reside and

simultaneously

play their

little tricks on us ..

That point

when it all seems

so perfect ..

Here, when we lay

like this

where we are lent

a vague but

otherwise agreeable

ambiguity ..

That precious point

when neither

you or I are sure, where

you might end

and then, the me begins

or vice versa ..

That then, must surely be

the point

we each become perfect ..
