A type of dualism

We can understand now how there are two things
like the voice that speaks and the voice that is heard
like my body as it was and as it is.

The difference from real
to real is like the strange
excess flesh of former bodybuilders.
we had built a great body of firm flesh together,
the fading strength leaves me wading like capillaries through this wilderness,
and you like the last artery billowing from the former
massy bicep that would have wrapped around our terra
like mythic oceanus.


We dream of this superhero strength;
We must be
made for another world.
what world?
