Contracted and compensated
Driven and drifting
Hunter and gatherer
Searching and sifting

Destination and journey
Mission and migration
Closer and opener
Reduction, exploration

But both without a home
or far from it
Both shying from the herald
and the trumpet
Both invisible, or legend,
or will become it.
 

(But framing these as opposite’s a false dichotomy
For neither one is who I am or who I want to be.)

Bonus haiku:

As jobs go, the one
Necessitates the other
As the herd moves on
