Questioning
©February 2nd, 2019
By Vijaya Sundaram
Oceans, skin-contained,
We travel on streets, subways,
Avoiding contact.
Negative spaces
Lie, like ever-yawning gulfs
Invasive and sly.
What would happen if
Eyes locked, or skin brushed by skin?
A flood? A tsunami?
Would we divert it?
Cut sluices, grooves, and canals,
And sail through to love?
