Querer

Number 150

December 26, 2000

My heart's wings flutter,
Attached by naught but the
Tenderest of filaments;

I do not feel its loss,
I only feel—
Its lightness;

The warm velvet walls
Of this room embrace me,
Smothered by your essence;

In deepest blue fields
Of cloth, stars hint at me,
Just beyond my depth;

I try to explain, let me in
Myself! But you're
Beyond all reason & rationale.
