I was in
black and you were
in white
(contrary to the
contrast of our skins)
and the water was
brown where it
should have
been green
(contrary to the
contrast of our eyes)
and you
undid the cage of
vertebrae
and said
you
were the lucky one.
You!


So,
I took down
the curtains and let
free all the
doubts and unfurled
the mistakes, the angst, the
never-forgotten
time apart
and we launched
ourselves into the purity
of space
(where they would never
think to find us)
