I study the sky
As a picture framed by cheap shutter blinds
Of a museum where I could be

    alone

  luxuriantly alone

If I were a fragment of personality
  of the cosmic soul
False are the constructs of being whole
Like splitting a rope
  in two
And tying a knot to make
  us
Us?

I could play some music
  clear and hollow
To quiver the synapse between me and you
Then maybe you could feel what I feel
  what is behind it all and
    real


But neither you nor me
               can truly sense the other
I pretend I am the curator
  of my world
You
  of your world

Perhaps then the picture sky

Is only mine
  to reveal
