Reality punctured with holes
She tells me to breathe
That nothing is
and nothing is make-belief
Off my tongue words tumble
Without thought
A somersault
Until she is not
anything that is possible
For once not getting caught
In candy-stripped chaos
Of lustful lips
I am real, I maintain
I flap and feel
And rain and reveal
failing to contain myself
I hunger and break
For someone else’s breathe
Awakens to take
and lay me to rest here
at my celebrated death
things I cannot
A careful hand
and strand of hair
For one moment in time
Gives reason to care
Before it tears and drops
With tears you can’t stop
Never knowing concrete
On only bustling streets
And shuffling feet
We will never meet
in reality
how can you offer home
to a stranger unknown
with no map to find
the peaks of the mind
and valleys of the heart
where do you start
to glow and ascend
will purity transcend
when reality invades
and innocence fades
depression is a season
she can see no reason
to keep connection
in this human collection
and so we intellectualize
feelings that are not wise
can a gift stay alive
can a dream still thrive
on the end of this vine
nothing to be mine
but only to for once see
unrestrained eyes free
