breathe

luc simonic
I need more than 800 times this and
If I had it would I scrap for more
Upon your windows and under your eaves?

All your words can not make me you,
Only draw me in as if I were a small
Breath, a half breath, a wisp of

air or rather you exhale and
I am caught on a leaf or a blade of grass
Or in your lung but never you.

So, If so, Then,

I will cling to you as a Ladder,
a cocoon, or anything that holds
Long and resolute and, bent

Browed, against the winds and times
Of man. And all the willows and
Songs of earth shall blow away

In none but a slight breath that
Could but blow our hair into our
Eyes or tell us everything we need.
