I wish that I
                     could turn myself into love;

From head to finger-tip-toe
                                            and to each broken strand of golden hair.

I'd stretch myself outward until
                                                    love encompassed you.
i can't explain the feeling any better
yet

by the glow of the embers
my eyes watched
as our
love grew through
the concrete floors
of
our old home.

and i,
rising up from the ash,
sang aloud to you.

i am*
the tingling of my toes
and the vibrations
are akin

i am
the shoulders that carry
all my secrets
out and in

i am
the ever-wandering soul
that watches over
my body

it feels like waking from a dream
or slipping into sleep
spinning hand and hand
then
falling over in the grass
between the ground and sky
on this windy night with you.

i do not wish to be seen
i do not ask to be heard
i do not want to be hurt

please let me disappear
for a little while longer

the memory
hides inside my skull
like sap sticking to
the palm-side of
my hands
and i ran out of space in the title textbox so i continue my rant-ness in the notes section here below the "more important" text. i am spinning around in a big room but it's not a very open room, it's got junk all over and i am not exactly graceful in my dancing feet - they're more like falling-over-feet - and i kind of waltz a bit and then sit down on a rotten chunk of wood that used to be a bench and i pick up one of those toys from my childhood with the colored plastic rings that stack up nicely, and i get sad because it's all gone and i can't get it back, and the only way to have anything like it is to have kids and then they will have that childhood, but i never will, because i used up the time and i am out of that period of life now, ticked it off the list, cut it right out of the itinerary, and now is a time for run-on sentences just like in grade seven and getting off topic just like always and a time for being sad about losing time and a time to say "to hell with time" but even if i did it would still be heard through the incessant clocks ticking our lives away and i would be sad even longer than i wanted to be.

wondering if
anyone else
is thinking
about what
anyone else
is thinking
about

maybe it's
a common
thought
