I
am the river and the sea,
the sand
and the mountain,
the seed
and the tree.
I navigate
traffic in Manhattan
while
fasting in the desert,
the stone
canyon shadow,
the
burning rocks and sun.
I am,
you are,
he, she,
or it is.
I decline
nothing
but the
noun and verb
as one.
I am
reading you
while you
are reading me.
Together,
we are the poem.
It is as
simple
and as
complicated as that,
this
marriage of words,
this
contradictory pact.
I choose
the flowing state,
the wave,
not the particle,
as my
final fact.
