An other trinity
Three is thee
and me and the other
me, which occasionally equals
more–that is, when Other You comes to the fore, slips
through the door, pours itself
into that “now” so full
of you, me,
and Other Me. Yes, I
know it’s not fair. Other You too should
feel free to be here, should know that space will be made
in the shaded crook of my breastbone
(or hers), but don’t you see–
I only
have two arms, and one must
keep hold of that Other Me, which means
I’ve only the one side left (or right). So…sorry–
hope you understand–um–and You too–
whom I do love truly.
(So does she.)

Here’s a “triquain,” for Kerry O’Connor’s prompt on With Real Toads. This is a new form with a syllabic breakdown of lines, developed by Shelley Cephas. I think this one would be “triquain swirl.”
The rather silly drawing is mine–no good eraser handy! so sorry for the smudges–but you probably get the point.
