6 | Swans fly overhead singing goodbye \ | ||
7 | to we [walkers of the earth][ithappened]. You point \ | ||
8 | to them in formation, you tell me \ | ||
9 | you are not you. You are the air the swans \ | ||
10 | walk on as they journey like pilgrims \ | ||
11 | to a temple in the south. A curtain \ | ||
12 | there separates me from you, swans \ | ||
13 | from the air they fly through. I say \ | ||
14 | that you are no longer the temple, \ | ||
15 | that you have been through fire \ | ||
16 | and are now less than ash. You are \ | ||
17 | a [mirror][] of me, the [air without a swan][trumpet]. \ | ||
18 | Together, we are each other. You \ | ||
19 | and I have both nothing and everything \ | ||
20 | at once. We own the world and nothing in it. | ||
