I.

(who) 
Is poem
(every)
Thought exists forever
(as)
A piece of sky
(invisible)
Like the distance
I still see
(expanding)
And contracting
(as)
We breathe

II.

(this)
World is
(only)
In our heads
(this)
Universe expanding
And contracting
With the thoughts
That bloom away
Into crystal hooves
Of wind
