bonded

lines connect us.
spreading spider webs
of emotion. devotion.
separation causes them to twist
and unfurl.
to tighten and stretch
to coil and vibrate.
will they break?
will they burn?
will they bind themselves
into thick cord
that ties us, ankle to ankle
wrist to wrist
heart to heart.
are they bonds that tie us down
or make us free?
if i am tied to you, am i less myself?
or maybe, after all, my loss in you is more to me
than ever i could be before.
