Within


Within
the utterances of a foreign tongueless language
a currency made of light
from this place
I can know 
all anyone ever could

A search party roams freely
into your own depths
tiny lanterns
within felt as
scintillant truths

beyond the way words fool us into believing;
through the windows curtained only by soul
those gossamer sheaths,
a fig leaf, 
covering something bigger and older
than a soul

If you can imagine a time
when you were me
and I was everyone
then you can declare 
to authentically see
this stare
from 
not there
but 
within

then my darling, 
I shall call this search party off
