Catalysis  

We reach
out through
all our differences
to touch
the tender parts
where we are the same.

Though each of us
would be pierced
by love rather than
accept its vulnerable
responsibility,
we must take care
to avoid stepping on it
with the hasty,
heavy boots of our defenses.

Through our solos
we learn to read
each other's music,
and only then can say
the softest things
in unexpected places.

catalysis - modification, and especially increase, in the rate of chemical reaction induced by material unchanged chemically at the end of the reaction
