Every time we are born

every time we wake

we re-enter the familiar obscurity ------ of ourselves

as a species

passing in and out

of this phenomena

of reality



                                              so we travel

                                              and we search

                                              and we move

                                              like herds of fish

                                              in the same direction

                                              in which

                                              we most clearly see



so see

yourself

in others

instead

of bleeding

yourself

on me
