I’ll Take It
I imagine, that in a digital world with augmented reality,
creation is inevitable. I long to feel the world within me.
creation is inevitable. I long to feel the world within me.
Instead, I’ll squeeze the earth my knees are planted on,
feel the cold softness, and cry into another dawn.
feel the cold softness, and cry into another dawn.
I imagine that the ground seems shifty now. Too old
and sharp for perfection, but somehow also more solid,
like you understand your place in the universe, a cord
stretched tight and glowing with threatened softness.
I imagine, that discovery hurdles toward every moment
that keeps your attention. The way joy tingles in bones
and makes your stomach ache. I can almost feel it too.
A soft heart lifted by someone who looks just like you.
