The Feminine

i gush
i pretend i see you
i say     hello
          sorry i didn't say hello earlier
          i was pretending then that i didn't see you

you gush
the ash within us  rushes   towering  you say  hello
pretending you hadn't seen me
earlier
           smiles push from within without difficulty
 flowering   fresh     faultless     human
        doglike     water-things     created
                                              rushing
                                              pushing
                                              gushing
oneself
uncontradicted
not terrified
nor possessed
