i could feel the crushed hourglass,
trickling down my hand,
melting my fingers as it
oozed downward with
steady nonchalance.
so i reached upward
to the ageless, abandoned cathedral
of searing blue truth
that pulled the seconds apart.
and i knew
(as my elbow was lost to time)
that i could not move mountains
but with the push of a sigh
i could destroy whorls of sand
into new empires
that with an intake of air
(the rise of my collarbone
disintegrating all the faster)
i could feel the tide
breathing for me
and that was enough
as i dissolved into the impossibility
of something.
