17Swans fly overhead singing goodbye \
18to we [walkers of the earth][ithappened]. You point \
19to them in formation, you tell me \
20you are not you. You are the air the swans \
21walk on as they journey like pilgrims \
22to a temple in the south. A curtain \
23there separates me from you, swans \
24from the air they fly through. I say \
25that you are no longer the temple, \
26that you have been through fire \
27and are now less than ash. You are \
28a [mirror][] of me, the [air without a swan][trumpet]. \
29Together, we are each other. You \
30and I have both nothing and everything \
31at once. We own the world and nothing in it.
