Confidant

In 82

words, I add 6

locks for 88

keys, then wait!

 

In a perfect world,

the skin of these 10

fingers would be gloves for the sinews beneath.

In a perfect world,

my 32

teeth would sing psalms to the brush.

In a perfect world,

my 2

eyes and 1

heart would beat and blink in unison,

and behind the ashen sky

the majesty of interstellar space

is almost detectable.

 

And in these 82

words, the world

becomes perfect,

albeit briefly.
