BY MYSELF
The more
you cover me
with caring,
the more
I am alone.
You dance
around my outside
wiith no way
of knowing
how to know me.
Inside
is an island
unreachable
by any ship.
Lush and growing,
Its species born
in isolation
of no foreign
genetic material.
You can
share the aura,
but you
won’t be able
to touch me
at my center,
and
you can’t take
anything
with
you.
