intangible

Words and scripted messages
points and questions, thoughts
the slight of hand in someone's eye,
pens that run fluid from a mind stopped up
with dreams that lose their colors

Music, a page flutters like a leaf
torn, its last from the tree
how a sound can be the cheek stroke
my sullen jaw longs for

I wish these things had more weight
the kind I could get buried in
smothered in and crying
but rather they give me wind
in puffs of hope, higher still
and the people are like sand
