loved this, I have a feeling I wrote a similar short succint pieces, coming at this from another angle, will be back to read and ponder this again later; beautiful beautiful imagery fitting perfectly, a nice philosophical touch

Thank you so much, Terry. You have so many amazing short form poems. I find they are difficult to write. I think I'm testing and trying so many just to be able to conquer the form, the approach.

M.J. You always go deep, my friend, and make me examine things I usually keep the door closed on. Life roughs people up sometimes so they put their tender parts in an inaccessible place to minimize future damage

Hi M.J, if I go on counting the pairs I can't count all of them, but you catch them all in a boundary. such as bone and pain. one is visible other isn't. this poem I think carry an element of illusion too, that makes it attractive. very very beautiful poem

Muhammad, such a sharp observation. Indeed, I was actually thinking of facades when I wrote this. And a facade can be a social construction, a feigned emotion....no type of x-ray can penetrate these, at least not on every occasion.

Everythings are there but in a hidden situation. Brief but beautiful. Best philosophical write.

It's all there but not seen. Clever little poem that gives a huge raft of thought.

Thank you so much, Simone. Yes, when I was first working on this, I was reminded of a comment that I overheard some years ago: The best conversations are the silent one. Thanks again.
