There is this sense of drowning in baptism
as we speak in the held breaths
of phantoms crossing
familiar history from opposite shores.
I wonder sometimes who's holding on,
being light for the shadow of the other.
How many failed lessons
repeat in this dark school
where questions are footsteps
in empty corridors,
their echo hidden in secret rooms?
Forgiveness, Love - given and given,
never touching, never enough.
In my hands an empty shell.
Circling above, a sea of stars.
