I Am

I’m the uttered word The arrow in the apple Seething on the tongue I am the finger Moving across the white page Blind eyes see black rage I am the blown sand Making dunes by shifting seas Time falls like a leaf I am in your head A constant chirping to see Rain fogs the glass pane I am the sweet fruit Each bite the child’s face is smudged Innocence is beauty Beauty is a leaf Falling like light from a tree Debris on the ground.
