The Indicator x The Student: “Fragment #2 (Lysis)”
In this edition of The Indicator x The Student, Aidan Cooper ’26 uncovers the relationship between faith and connection. Through imagery of water, roots, and blooming lotus flowers, Cooper reflects on how religion and relationship intertwine in the shaping of self.
You river your fingers,
I dip my toes in, water us
until lotus flowers ring
the space between our knuckles.
Each of your palm’s lines,
another root in my life. Press,
until you’re sure. Press through
the bridge we make, touch the sway
beneath, see there are pink blooms
and bees inside me, heartbeating.
