It still astonishes me to this day
What happens when
Our words learn to play
When our minds begin to shake
And structures begin to break
When our eyes begin to feel
Our layers begin to peel
When our hearts slowly thump
Our words no longer bump
They take each other’s hands
We start to understand
It still astonishes me to this day
What happens when
‘We’ is no longer ‘they’
