In Tension

Breaking the tension between us
Our strangeness exposed as we touch
The surface collapsing, reflecting refracting
Flickering sticklebacks flitting, reacting

Each day when I sit on the bank
To learn of the world in a scene
Each creature creates its own living space
My home is settled between

Words are waves
Listen to me

My mother returned to my home
Speaking so strangely, insanely concerned
She talked of cities and lives hypnotised
And how time can mend and return

Words are waves
Listen to me

How does kindness, and care represent
Do we crave love to make meaning relent
You can't understand this life that I've lived
So whatever I say you'll never forgive

Words are waves
Listen to me

I love to sit and remain where I am
Knowing the place where I grow
Never selecting, collecting, correcting
Worlds together but never connecting

Words are waves
Listen to me
