Separation
on one side troubled waters
that don’t give me answers
as if flooding over me with secrets
that burden
my ignorance even more
on the other side
the dauntlessness of the wild mountain
where an almost vertical slope
makes me understand
something about flying
and between the two of us a precipice
feeding with separations
staying with its mouth open
to hungrily swallow something
