CONSTANT GOODBYE

All reunions
are separations.
All separations
are new reunions.
Always someone waving,
from a car, a boat, a train,
a plane.
Accelerating away,
even as they are approaching.

TRANSIT

All places
a new curriculum
a new activity
a new pronunciation
of my name

BELIEF

Everyone believes.
Everyone fights for what they believe.
Everyone knows that what they believe is right. 
Everyone believes that what they know is true. 

IF

MAGIC

If I
to you
were
someone.
Not a number,
not a thing.
If I
to you
were
a beating heart,
brave feet.
Not a wave,
or a stream,
nor a threat.

If I
to you
were
Human.
If.

BLANDET

Sing me a song about travels.
About distance.
About endings.
Sing about sorrow, longing, loss and sacrifice.
Tell me stories about being reunited.
About dreams.

About love.
Lost and found.
Say something about friendship, about hope, about faith.
Speak of the spaces in-between,
about all that was edited away.
Speak about what was, but was never spoken.
Give me words on courage,
on strength,
on resistance.
Tell me.
Write.
Speak.
Sing.
About all that binds us,
and all that sets us free.

MIXED
Half and half,
quarter, part.
Born Here,
but from There.
They ask:
What, Where,
never Who.
They insist,
while pointing in opposite directions,
that is True,
and this is Right.
They say:

you are one of Us,

or
you are one of Them.
Why not Double,
why not Whole?
Why not Neutral,
why not All?
