We Move Through Our Lives

We move through our lives,

collect versions of ourselves,

the shining self,

the secret self,

the self thrust upon us.

We move through our lives,

float through a parted veil,

march resolute,

flee into a no man’s land.

We moves through our lives,

shape shifters slip over borders,

amnesiacs lost in our own fog

amputees, limbs intact

Our phantom selves throb,

and remember.
