That Is You

Janet Kuypers
3/9/89

Not you
not me
those lines have been erased
we have combined
the blood and water in a body
integral parts of a whole
working together for a common cause
joined in a way
dripping into each other
so that we can never separate
and now that we are one
you no longer see me
for I do not exist
how can you see
anything that is a part of you
that is inside you
that surrounds you
that encompasses you
that is you
