Granular
Can you see me?
Eyes open
But still unseeing
To the truth,
Which has been hidden
In the lies of life.
Can you find me?
Wandering through hallways,
Knowing my way around
But still lost
In my willow-weep thoughts
From yesterday.
Can you hear me?
I’m talking to you
And you look like
You understand.
But do you really?
I don’t think so.
Can you feel me?
I’m right here,
You’re reaching out to touch me
But your hand
Connects
With nothing.
Because that’s what I am to you.
Can you tell me?
Tell me the truth.
What you think
Of this world around us.
But what if you forget breath?
My ask
Goes unanswered,
Lost in the space
Of forgotten memory.
Can you remember me?
Papers and words and life
Come together
To be me.
But what happens
When they burn?
