”Connection”
by Adrianne Tamar Arachne

It can only take the shape of us.

This thing called connection

Existing in the meeting place

Of the wilderness created

By both of our unique wilds

Merging into a third one.

What parts of our wilds

Will blend effortlessly?

What parts will repel each other?

Be triggered by each other?

Spark inferno in each other?

How do we navigate

This third wilderness

Made by the wildernesses within us both? Do I know my own enough

To dare tread this one?

What if the third thing

Becomes treacherous?

Unnavigable?

Destructive?

No wonder why many

Stay close to paved trails

Set rules

Clear destinations

To make it all feel a bit more safe.

But we weren’t made for that.

We’re wild.

And so we’ll risk the power

Of every frightening thing in nature

And all of it’s weather

To get close

To the Real thing

In each other.
