Breaking Free of the Cliches

Each human is walled in.

Bricks of cliches are laid on bricks of assumptions,

mortared with fears and suspicions,

isolating,

confining.

Feeling your hand against mine

made me sense our hands travelling to a space

where phase change was common,

eternity bloomed.

Each electron kissed its neighbour.

My isolation vanished,

my mortar melted

in this fully realised moment.
