When You Look At me

[skonen_blades]

You flower all over me
Rustically hurling petals
A million soft tongues
Licking gravity away
Memory luxuriates in oblivion
Vacationing by abstaining
And now, now, now slams softly
Into every corner of me
And all I’m capable of experiencing
Is what’s happening
Existing purely as a sensory unit
Without the capability to record
And I wonder what animals remember
And I think forgiveness exists in nature
More than anywhere else
I am aloft
Adrift in time’s current
Gliding by being
I pillow home base
As round-trip tickets pile up in the basement
I am the ghost of an arrow
The daydream of a javelin
A missile of silence
Rock still in my quivering

And this is just
When you look at me
