twin flames are two pieces grafted
together like branches on a tree,
metals bonded into an alloy or
parasite-and-host. no thing shall
be a single thing. come not in singles
but in battalions, conjoined like twins,
inseparable. we share our organs,
we share our breaths. i am the hand
to your eye, the blade to your knife.
no thing shall be a single thing, and
the lovers are not chained by the devil,
and the tower does not burn. the red
string binds us, my bones are your bones
and your teeth are my teeth. we are
hunter-and-prey, hati and sköll
chasing the celestial bodies to swallow
whole. the light singes me, but you
are there to tend the wound. no thing
shall be a single thing and i am not
alone in this. brother sleep and sister death,
i am the raven flying above and you
are the wolf below. we rend and break
and devour together. no thing shall be
a single thing and you are not alone
in this.
