so close

my brother sister
psoriasis
my membrane

separating frog call from bird call
mud
from air

and into the air whither 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
