ALONE

As you know, living breast-
to-breast here 
with the others,

alone doesn't need 
desert conditions 
to  grow.

To explain 
the word cleaves 
its own definition, 

inviting 
great depth as much
as destruction.

Written, it is a tiny seed 
which contains 
a vast ocean—but strangely,

that power is yet doubled 
when it's spoken 
to another.
