My intangibility
Was never intended
As an imposition
A whisper,
Like the inflation
Of ghostly wings
I wished to be
As deft as light
Face down in cumulus
Bewilderment,
An anodyne of sorts
When love arrives
It comes as a sunrise
And I, a sleeping witness,
Who never understood
My place in life’s turnings
Have become as salt
Ejaculating in drought
A fist doesn’t furnish
A capacity equivalent
To the human heart
And if not for this haze
I might have a smile
Worth remembering
