Both

© Luis Suñén [¹]

Once within the shadow
they belong one to the other
ust like the tall elm
and the round cloud,
and the world that used to be
water and not wound,
sand and on top of it
nneither a foot nor a knee
fertile, the firm footprint
of the living.
Thread and tides,
to go or not to be:
veil is flight.
