I wish our walking distance
Were an earthworm’s thousand miles.
Time has fallen like a piano
Dangling from a moving company’s old rope,
But this substance in my heart
Has made me swim right through solid pain.
Do you see me smiling?
There’s a monarch butterfly fluttering
At the other side of the sphere:
I am there, I am her,
Stumbling to catch the words
You spoke to yourself yesterday;
And while you sleep on your cheek
I lay secrets in your ear.
You may not know:
There’s a river where I used to remember you,
At the other side of my eyes…
