where we live


where we live
is where we think from
traveling without moving
fearing without feeling
dreaming without sleeping
being without knowing
coming without going
arising while arising

recognizing home
just up ahead
because of
because

where we live
is where we remember
the dream about a thing
called dream
a thought about thing
called a thought
a life about a thing
called a life

where we live
is no place like
where we live
is no one like
where we live
is solid and solid
is where we're born together 
run and play awhile
work and build a little
grow old bit by bit
and somehow die
out of sight
hand of slight
held fast together -
clasped,
for never
anything else but
where we live
