ABSTRACT
This chapter uses poetry as a method to illuminate the tensions and wonderment of committing to a bicultural relationship that speaks ultimately to bicultural performances in education. Autoethnographic poetry is understood as a method for enabling and refinding moments with each other by coming to understand relationship and to illustrate a becoming relationship as the researchers struggle to shed and to create shared meanings of being bicultural. The chapter discusses the Tukutuku panel in workshop. The impossibility of the erasure of betrayal is the opening of any possibility of love whatsoever. Love cannot be love in and of itself. Love is only love by virtue of being partially otherwise than love. There is betrayal in the name of (within and for the sake of) love. Betrayal demands our love too since the impossibility of love for all is what keeps open the possibility of any love at all.
