Waves
I clash like transparent on white,
Like ocean waves crash into off-hanging cliffs.
My head is light and I have been erased to the bone.
Come and come again, gently, but not too fast.
Touch only at first and I will yield,
But do not crash into me and
Do not break me.
The tips of my fingers have been rubbed off
And for a while I am nobody, and nobody is I.
I am walking on a wired line.
I won't forget this, I tell myself.
I am fleeting dust, I’m a wave riding the shores.
I am stretched thinly on a string.
I feel fresh and cool,
Cleansed of grey matter and dusty brown marks.
I am running, I am running, I am gushing.
I can’t see but I can touch it now.
This is a feeling of me and you.
The winds have me in their wake,
And we cannot stop them now.
Like ocean waves crash into off-hanging cliffs.
My head is light and I have been erased to the bone.
Come and come again, gently, but not too fast.
Touch only at first and I will yield,
But do not crash into me and
Do not break me.
The tips of my fingers have been rubbed off
And for a while I am nobody, and nobody is I.
I am walking on a wired line.
I won't forget this, I tell myself.

I am stretched thinly on a string.
I feel fresh and cool,
Cleansed of grey matter and dusty brown marks.
I am running, I am running, I am gushing.
I can’t see but I can touch it now.
This is a feeling of me and you.
The winds have me in their wake,
And we cannot stop them now.
