Metaxis

suspended lies a pregnant brush
hanging in the air
though it is not spoken of
we both know it is there

united by The chasm
a steep one that divides
eyes fixed upon the brush
for the hope that it provides

the brush is not a bridge
it cannot heal the soul
still we reach with broken hearts
longing to be whole

I love the title- I didn't know what the word meant, but now that I do it totally informs my reading of the poem and understanding of the last section, "the brush is not a bridge..."
