It's Relative

I travel to see them
and I age ten years –
it makes them feel younger

I travel to see him
and he drives me mad –
it makes him feel sane

I stay away
as much as I can –
it makes me feel close

I come across a small village in the foothills
where prayer flags and tapestries
give a strong colour to the scenery

I am immersed in a trance-like stupor
with no reflection, no reflection
but the morning is bright and clear

It will be a delight if you wish to walk with me
Walk a while until you turn
You will not be at my side forever

We take our thanks for granted
Don't even question the same things
Groom each other like apes
Make an effort without trying

A two strand plait
for a while
