golden threads

Autumn Looijen

--

with time you see the golden threads

connecting you, me, us, the past

each pulse bringing gifts

bringing poisons given with love as children

not knowing

.

with time you see everything

your side and his and hers and theirs

all the facets diamond-sharp

is it pain or joy

.

when you look too long at it

you’re left with double vision

i can’t see my side without seeing your own

.
