The Unifying Principle

 An updated version of a poem from 2018 that was inspired by Cagall's weightless lovers.

Love made us lighter than air;

we careered, wheeled and banked

above the town.

Time, gravity, all forces;

we were the unifying principle.

Curved like quarter moons,

fitting into each other precisely,

loving each other beyond norms,

we freed ourselves.

In that love nothing hurts;

in that love all is healing.
