What if my blink lasts an extra beat more
Unintended, I cannot explain
What if while this, my inhale I implore
Is reality seeking to feign?
Gravity, come, take your match by the hand
Ether has waited for this
Fluttering eyes, staccato breath
So much words culminate in a kiss
Where is the ether of you
You cannot be nowhere
Yet, I cannot find you anywhere
Never by my side
Never to my rescue
Never where I need you
Always, those days and these
I live as a void, a vortex
Forever, a you-shaped yearning
A guy
A god
A love
An almost is
All live somewhere in the ether
