Someday
I can reach forward
and take hold of your hand.
and your fingers will wrap around mine
no longer dead borrowed flesh
but new
shining like gold
in the violet light of dawn
--
i stood on the edge of the great ravine
the stars traced in the sky
like someone running their fingers through water
to no one but the world
to heaven and earth
with no human ears to hear me
i shouted that i am real
that i exist
and that someday i will fit into all of this
no one answered
but my own voice and the night insects
and the cool wind
to this day i don't know
if it was a rejection
or a quiet affirmation
someday i'll find out
