Condensation

Condensed, 
thin as this paper
between the hard tug 
of time and gravity  
and the moist weight 
of my fears

A puddle, a mere,
a human life;
still breathing, 
thinking, wanting,
muddling through

I fear now, I must wait
in shallow dampness
for a warm sun to 
dry these tears,
then rise and
become a
cloud
