I heard you today,
If only for a moment.
A sharp laugh cut through the air around me
Popped my ear drum like sugar candy.
I saw only rushing water,
Smelled only the sun and sky.
Alone in the pool of rapids
I heard you
Like always-
A lie.
My foot slid of the river rock
A gasp took over my spine.
Straight as arrow,
Mouth open as you liked.
But with the realization of halucination
Jaw took my opinion
Like always-
Defy.
