separation
what’s bigger than the ego
—the ocean or the
waxing gibbous aglow
the whole wide world itself
where will it go
once separated from the mind
—to the bottom of the sea
or exiled to the moon
maybe buried in the garden
the body is sixty percent water
a puddle if you will
a black hole or a portal
—a mere trick of the mind
leaving the ego behind
october two thousand twenty-four
