| 18 | Swans fly overhead singing goodbye \ | ||
| 19 | to we [walkers of the earth][ithappened]. You point \ | ||
| 20 | to them in formation, you tell me \ | ||
| 21 | you are not you. [You are the air the swans \ | ||
| 22 | walk on][alt] as they journey like pilgrims \ | ||
| 23 | to a temple in the south. A curtain \ | ||
| 24 | there separates me from you, swans \ | ||
| 25 | from the air they fly through. I say \ | ||
| 26 | that you are no longer the temple, \ | ||
| 27 | that you have been through fire \ | ||
| 28 | and are now less than ash. You are \ | ||
| 29 | a [mirror][] of me, the [air without a swan][trumpet]. \ | ||
| 30 | Together, we are each other. You \ | ||
| 31 | and I have both nothing and everything \ | ||
| 32 | at once. We own the world and nothing in it. | ||
