Bring my eyes to the center

I genuflect momentarily.

I gave of myself.

I sat. I lost myself for time.

Reverberating silences

I am catalyzed

I can no longer breathe, remembering how

Callously I caught things in my throat

Spewed nails of fire,

Shattering the existence in the sphere of there; Bring me close again.

I crave to feel your head in the crook of my arm

Know again the in and out of your breath, slow and regular

I want your hands around my waist

I want the barrier of time to slip away and curve of the atmosphere to dip

I want to touch the untouchable

Cast me through the portal to the invisible element of time

Yield the spirit to the void of the vanished dream

Summer’s breath wavering: The year of 2010, June 6
