This piece hopes to explore just beyond the expected.
Galithea
At a point where the tundra meets the forest and the desert meets the sea, we find two individuals desperate to share common ground; beautifully broken, and attempting to weather their own storm.

The Way Towards Each Other
The way towards each other is through our bodies.
Words are the longest distance you can travel
So complex and hazardous you
Lose your direction.
Time is no way either. A river mouth it opens
To a mixing of waters, a tidal
Diffusion, never
a consummation.
In our bodies we are fallen in a thorn thicket.
Out is a tearing apart, a letting of juices.
Inside though is a pathway, a tremulous compensation –
The possibility of touching.
