Poetic Human Operation - Ophelia Alcantara Dimalanta

I write to you, you read me, 
in the most distant strangeness, 
under the skin and inside it, 
blind lovers clinging to the signs. 
More felt and finger-shaped than seen, 
like us invisibly. 
Connection, collision and collusion, 
transfer and transportation, 
clarity, dream, drift and dance. 
Our mutual paths, 
strangers, taken by the swoon of singing.

Ophelia Alcantara Dimalanta (1932 - 2010) The Philippines
