Spaces between
Understanding
Hands
Coming together
Not touching
Void
Legs
Feet
Walking over
The gap
A four-inch
Space
Between
The train
And
the platform
Cultures meeting
Not touching
Stopping short
The differences
Fear of differences
I’m breathing
Deep
Easy breaths
my spine
pressed
against
metal pole
directly in the middle
CAVE DRAGON
This is my meeting
Reaching
Breathing into
differences
The train turns thru the tunnel
Red handles
Dangle
Squeaking
As I do
a pendulum dance
In the middle
Open door
Pours
In the see
I stand perpendicular
Nobody stands perpendicular
It takes up
too much
Space
Wind tunnel
Cools
the dampness
High heels
Painted toes
Resting
in air
Hissing dragon
Opening
Closing
Hissing
Opening
Closing
Please mind the gap
Please mind the gap
Please mind the gap
I stand horizontal
In central
Maximizing space
The train turns
Thru the tunnel
The gap
A four-inch
Void
Between
The train and the platform
Darkness
The unknown
between
races
Ideas
Minds
Seeing reflections
Not in the windows
In the
Faces
The dragon
Stops
I keep breathing
Standing
in the
middle
