              |   As powerful 
                  lightning 
                  discovering for a split second 
                  I see 
                  in the wide dark expanse 
                  of sightless togetherness 
                  in breathless suffocation 
                  in sudden reflection and 
                  guttural moaning agony 
                  not you and me- 
                  some strangers 
                  wearing our faces and bodies 
                  feigning fathomless oneness- 
                  a second only but 
                  together again and again 
                  until we no longer can- 
                  I find us 
                  in fury, fire and storm- 
                  the rising head 
                  in its feverish charge  
                  asserting and re-asserting 
                  in blissful ignorance  
                  that it is in fact its own foe 
                  and that getting nearer union 
                  it paves way for opposite.
