86. Our place in the universe
You come to me in flashes
like in occasional bursts of limelight
proving you are constantly ahead of me
although I venture to keep the initiative,
and thus our intercourse becomes a race:
who shows the way? Who leads the course?
We both do for each other, and that's the miracle,
as if we both were entering each other
and were each other's personalities.
I saw in you from the beginning
something of my own and other self,
I understand your thoughts and feel them,
and this must work both ways to work at all:
you must likewise be familiar with my mind
and understand it even in our separation.
Thus we two are one and cannot part
and can't be separated even by reality,
the petty physical preposterousness
which is called the universe.
