Below the Aether

a search for belonging amid the fragilities of the living

embers lit ablaze

a breath of smoke lingers on

please, don’t leave me here

-

I need to taste rain

an undeniable thirst

lives atop my tongue

-

Zephyrus taunts me

he is hiding from my lungs

dancing in stardust

-

do I belong here?

to feel the earth between toes

as they sink below
