I feel you, circling out there
At a distance, slinking smooth
Far off in the misty uncertainty 
On the edges of what I am

My porous boundary, lace edged
Filigree fluff of half formed stuff
From here I seem to just peter out
But I know that if I were to go

Out there and look I could dive 
Forever down down down into the
Finer details of the edge and finer 
From blur to lace to blur again

Nothing in this world is solid
Or very well defined really
Everything is negotiable 
Territory 

And I feel you out there 
Negotiating
