Fused
My faith and my failures
mingle
A double exposure.
The camera’s eye snicks shut
twice
records two images turned inside out
reverses them prints them
One.
Nothing to do with each other
and yet
always meant to be
One.

Claudia McGill Writes Poetry, Did You Know That? 
I think as complex human beings we are very capable of fusing juxtaposed states together. I think the real trick is determining where we place our focus and energies.
I have come to believe that people are just contradictions walking around. We can keep opposing ideas in our head at one time. It is a mystery but also very interesting. Although of course I like to think I am totally consistent! And yet, sometimes the layers are separated in time and so the whole accretes, that is a different thing, when they do all come together and make one thing again. That is also very interesting when that happens.
Hard to separate all those layers. (K)
I think of it as a process sort of like lamination. You can see the layers, but no longer can they be separated without breaking the whole.
Yes, that’s right.
