Options

Together or separate? Which is better? I don't think either work, and I don't like either option. Is permanent liminality possible? Can we be perpetually caught between separation and companionship? How am I to love you without leaving you either lonely or still--one is solitary, the other silent. Would you rather be alone or not speak? Would you rather bathe in a self-hood without target, anchor, or direction out of which to create, cultivate, and process; or stay still in a silent stillness akin to death? Are these really the only two options? I hope not. But, I know not. I'm sorry. I wish I could do better.
