Between two is a constructed reality. Be it two lands, two people, or two…

The overlap of two distinctly different things produces a relation. This could entail conflict, intimacy, self-definition.

An overlap,

A grey area,

What is a sea?

A junction,

A demarcation of territory,

A passage,

An in-between,

A promise-land/paradise,

A mirage,

Constructed geographical thing,

Something to drown in

What is it to see?

You see,

In a sea – a blue sea, like a mirage,

are grey eddies,

scattered fragments swirl around,

I am

here

and here

and here

Believing I will be found whole,

here.

Whole,

where?

You see,

and are seen.

And in this simple act of reciprocal recognition,

between two,

is intimacy,

is belonging,

is wholeness.
