JUXTAPOSE

Our home is a dovecote.

There is space to let.
 

We are here for temporary, indeterminate stays.
 

Passing through

at the end of days.
 

Each of us isolated in a body, an assemblage of identity,

a self-contained cabinet of curiosity.
 

All of us together, on our home planet

always facing the inevitable end.
 

Each of us has a key

to perceive infinity

and to open

portals

of play

and hope

and mystery.
