Analysis of Separation



on one side troubled waters
that don’t give me answers
as if flooding over me with secrets
that burden
my ignorance even more

where an almost vertical slope
makes me understand

and between the two of us a precipice
feeding with separations
staying with its mouth open
to hungrily swallow something
