Briefly Touched
Out it streams
from my breaching core
as I pen down longing words
write lines that seek rhyme
in pace with
all that’s around
and crawling inside
the very dimensions
of past and future times
in one endlessly transforming being
or am I mistaken
is such not there and is this I
just a burp, scrap
then, for a brief moment yet
˗ a finger on the pain of estrangement ˗
this feel I’ve had
