8Swans fly overhead singing goodbye \
9to we [walkers of the earth][ithappened]. You point \
10to them in formation, you tell me \
11you are not you. You are the air the swans \
12walk on as they journey like pilgrims \
13to a temple in the south. A curtain \
14there separates me from you, swans \
15from the air they fly through. I say \
16that you are no longer the temple, \
17that you have been through fire \
18and are now less than ash. You are \
19a [mirror][] of me, the [air without a swan][trumpet]. \
20Together, we are each other. You \
21and I have both nothing and everything \
22at once. We own the world and nothing in it.
