To Eiko
in a valley between
tall buildings rivers
of light meet
cross and intersect
divide and conquer
the grids of
streets and backstreets
in the valleys
between the
valleys and
the buildings bet
ween the buildings
and the crossings bet
ween the crossings
and the mis
understandings between
the under
standings
they too see
the light
in the same place but
never in
the same way
between words bet
ween thoughts
gestures mea
ningful and ges
tures meaningless
they see them in
the crossings
and the backstreets
but the eye always
finds the way
back to the lines between
the lines and the places
between places
