nevereven


youvenever heardof me.

youvenever heardof your dislike for me
or your disrespect.
nevershared this as a home.
neverfelt allthatyou see
as not yourown.

youvenever heardof your adoration for me, your kindness.
nevertimed connection in trees.
neverfelt love peace or fear with the idea of me, or the real.

youvenever heardof re-recognizing what you see.
neverlearned patterns of perception are yours and havenothing to do with me.

i wonder if we follow a lead if that makes us a we.
how could it? except that it does

while youvenever even heardofme.
