What is the space between,
enclosing us in one
united person, yet
dividing each alone.
Frail bridges cross from eye
to eye, from flesh to flesh,
from word to word: the net
is gapped at every mesh,
and this each human knows:
however close our touch
or intimate our speech,
silences, spaces reach
most deep, and will not close.
'however close our touch or intimate our speech, silences, spaces reach most deep, and will not close' - well said! Congratulations on the poem's selection as the 'Modern Poem of the day'!

And also our lack of use of science and over reliance on religion faith philosophy is what causes unnatural vibrations within communes. Hitler thought his super race was super and the rest we know. Science would have shown its his mental illness which was troubling him. And today we have mentally deranged racists calling other races derogatory names. Instead of locking up in Alcatraz he is even standing for High office. God forbid
