Interchangeability.
affixed to loss, affixed to
loss of limb, or
worse.
She has the
wildest hair.
So wild it almost makes
her look tame,
by
comparison. and she talks
of magic,
no,
she talks magic.
she speaks in smoke rings
and with the light of god nestled
in her bounteous hair
those smoke rings float up to form
halos
cresting her brow
shining inner light out.
she is lost.
or I am lost.
either or, but not both.
we are interchangeably lost
and it is not that we are less lost together,
simply that we are together,
and that means
no matter
how
l
o
s
t
we become,
we are found.
I
am:
Lost in liberation
in victory
in security
in madness
in
her.
