the summer months are a
culmination of lines
blurred, memories become
an animal, I look to my hands to
study the lines on my face, a mirror
in several dimensions, I can see right
through each sensation
I am still longing for
imperfection, again or for the
first time, I know the
heaviness of
the air from august, we have come
nearly full circle and
still my palms know who you are
how often I wait
for the future
to catch up
so many times to start and stop.
I pause to read the hand I have
been dealt, peer into the same soul
with
a different face, knowing I
have never been half.
