walking beneath the trees
the song comes in my head and
heart twists into an empty shape
fortuitously filling a void
the breeze is light on touch
like your voice beside my ear
i can hear fleeting whispers and
mad raucous laughter
is it real that you’re in the leaves
is it real that you’re in the clouds
oh draw me a funny rabbit or cow and
make them hop the moon tonight
tonight i sight jupiter and the moon
has a rainbow around it
you’re in the bits of my universe now
forever with me yet beyond touch
you’re in the bits of my reality yet i can
only sense in the lightness of a breath
