i -
we are not who we say we are, on one hand
we are who we try not to be.
we are the dumb sum total of our actions, on the other.
we are candles on the coffee table
are we the heat?
are we the light?
are we the wick set against the wax & time?
ii -
we are awake, like in the night.
we are white sails in black seas
over brown boards, beaten.
would we not still be adrift if we knew the reason?
are we the heat?
are we the light?
