We Two
by Rachel BennettSomehow we two are one -
Sharing skin already
By bone and sinew stretched,
We are as sponge and water -
Each fuller with both
And both more useful than each.
Somehow we two are two -
With hook and loop we embrace,
Maintaining line, though fill
May bleed over across us -
Though halves of the same fruit,
Separate halves we remain.
Somehow we two are three -
Root and fifth mingling,
Amazed, we clearly hear nearby
A voice of honey and biscuits -
Placated, we float from
Three two one.
