so close

my brother sister

psoriasis

my membrane

 

separating frog call from bird call

mud

from air

 

and into the air wither these spirits

the grid and distinctions

that turned the worlds

 

millimetres apart hearts beating in stereo arrhythmia

never to know each other

never to slow

 

yet constellations appear

when conjured

and traces on screens

 

are flying machines

 

grist in the mill

of the war of the worlds

or their sweet conjunction
