NOT ME


    Even close enough


    to share the same air,


    she is beautiful. He


    is perfection.

    I want to stumble back


    into a past where


    this rich color


    passed unseen, my mind


    intent on the dirt,


    the travels of worms


    and the skipping of rocks.


    Intent on holding the Earth


    instead of fearing


    the mirror of others.
