-Inspired by James Baldwin’s “Another Country”
In the Other Country-
we each try to mold the other,
unsurprised – though unfulfilled –

And punish each other as the wicked

It played like gentle background music
Set within a silent, theatrical film.
Everything melted away so quickly.
I became more than a miniscule thread
