Incognito

A casual greeting, whose match lit

this place on fire

Words become embers- caught up in

this slow burn of yearning

I watch for your eye in the flame, but

I dare not touch it yet

Because dreams can decieve, and the brain

can become an illusionist

The Goddesses have gathered around, they've opened

their apiritual palms, and I felt your name resound in

the air above

I felt it exit out my mouth and into the oxygen



Secretly, my skin has been tasting the inevitable creep of

a lingering

like the way your smile rests in the back of my eyelids

There is a hushed possibility that the wind

could carry this away, or,

it could carry me right through you, in two days
