darkness (singular: to the second person, more than the first, or third)
cause differing memories mistaking
that i and that you and that was
and was it really was it really all that time wasnt it true wasn't it us? it was ours! was it you?
was it yours? all those hours was it true? were you at least thinking my thinking was ---
were you at all ever with me
or was it me who wasn't with you?
did you enjoy as i fancied your following
me not knowing. discovering finally,
able to think and to plan and to live, because at last the blindness and loneliness by some miracle no longer baffled us and so at long last thus
unfettered the soul within each of us free could fly and could dream and could think all the things we had
saved up to be
all the tests and experiments
all the experiences saved them for when
there'd be two so that i wouldn't have formed all alone
here'd be room for us both in my discovery in my discovery
my discovery would somehow also
be you which it wasn't now was it
something you knew and you knew that i'd do anything to make it be true
you knew and you never betrayed you never left either and you never swayed
never, ever at long last let on,
never though i was afraid --
did i hear what you were telling me telling me telling me telling me telling me telling me telling me
soon you would no longer tell me
so earnestly soon you would no longer hope for it innocently
soon you would have to rethink your patiently soon you would
have to account for your energy
soon you would have to be turning away
not giving up no but infinity
and infinite promises lie
that tirelessness of the heart retreating into steadfastly hoping one day
i would maybe review one day
i'd most certainly do something that would
-- echoing --- through --- i would be
all alone here with shadows
no way to make it all new
all alone as i was all along
because maybe nothing was you

A (Darker to 2 Than to Either 1 Or 3) Singular Darkness
alone - am i ever? where are you?
all of this living
and dreaming and thinking together was all me
and none of this
all this time some did i see
did i know you you know i did see
i did
some time this
all this of-- no one and me --
always together thinking and
dreaming and living this,
of all you are
wherever i am alone
so this is what it is after so many years
of thinking that i was you
of thinking you thought so too
of thinking my thinking you knew
of thinking our thinking we two -- of -- thinking --not thinking it through --
oh at first just a bit for a fantasy
at first just a bit of a role
a childhood perfect made new for me
your spirited interest made whole
whatever before was frightened
to stand up and boldly declare
what we always already had known
to be true to be right to be --- there ---
to be
-- cause certainly different entirely wasn't it
different assumptions the cause differing memories mistaking
that i and that you and that was
and was it really was it really all that time wasnt it true wasn't it us? it was ours! was it you?
alone
- am i ever? where are you?
all of this living
and dreaming and thinking together was all me
and none of this
all this time some did i see
did i know you you know i did see
i did
some time this
all this of-- no one and me --
