Opposition
For things to fit
there must be opposites–
not interlocked at first
but ground away at worst:
screw threads oppose
wood yields as steel embeds.
Imperfect, hidden cavities rejoice,
float gravities on lubricants
oil can:
graft nourishes foreign limbs
to flourish, flower, fruit–
old root, one stem
one life pro tem
happily hereafter
all one sap.
