we were not two souls in one body...

this is the ninth

of a series of poems by nooshin azadi

derived from drawings by rhoda penmarq

. we were not two souls in one body or perhaps we were but that body was the trunk of a tree and trees have got branches and their branches grow in different directions we grew apart we were not two souls in one body or perhaps we were but that body was the course of a river and rivers have got branches and their branches flow in different directions we grew apart we were not two souls in on body or perhaps we were but that body was the path to a journey and journeys have got branches and their branches follow in different directions we grew apart .
