If I were to ask…

If I were to ask, who you are,
would you know—an illusion,
a shadow, an encased soul
or a prisoner of certitudes?

I tried to answer but lost. Maybe
you won’t.

If I were to ask what love is,
would you know—a smile, a touch,
some trust, patience, hormones, 
pots of money or pots of pain?

I tried to answer but lost. Maybe 
you won’t.
