when I call you other
I errect a barrier,
de-humanise and disown you,
I proclaim myself more,
more important,
more worthy,
more...
more and more,
and in claiming more for me,
and in pushing you away,
in bolstering my self,
in hiding my insecurities
I become less,
less because I refuse
our true connection,
our common humanity,
our likeness
the image of God...

when I call you other
I errect a barrier,
de-humanise and disown you...
+
when I call you other,
I deny myself,
loose myself,
loose...
