I look at you and my heart strains like the strings of a violin under the skillful fingers of its owner. the melody warms the very depths of my soul, leaving me breathless in your beautyβ€” oh, how you make me want to sing. I look at you, you with that warm smile, and I want to crumble in your arms and my soul burns to melt into your warmth, until every single atom of me unwinds to bondΒ withΒ yours.

β€” always yearning for you

to evaporate

to be held within tufts of air and dust

nurtured by the ripe candescence of sun

lulled to soft slumber by way of its repose

nothing and nobody else

for there is not one body in sight or sense

to enter unscathed and oblivious

to linger atop deserts, plains, fields, monuments, and mountains

to be without the eyes to see them or the ears to hear their plight

to be a mere particle

to be a fragment of a much larger form

and to have no idea

to have nothing and be nothing

to travel across the atmosphere with no legs to grow weary

to be the barest form of liquid

until the next time it rains

and to precipitate from whence i came

plummet gracefully, forcefully, and purposefully back down to the earth

nourishing its particles, its plants, its people

painting a terracotta pot crimson, maybe

dripping down its side and onto the grass

spreading thinner as i reemerge into this thing

this thing i wished so desperately to flee

this thing i hoped would entangle me into its roots and swallow me whole

only to sprout anew, remember my first name,

and take to my usual walking route

but with the light of the stars in the back of my mind

the warmth of the sun on the tip of my nose

and the memory of non-existence

as if it could ever be obtained

this is what i wish

i do not wish to be gone

i wish to volatilize

and reconvene with the notion that i did not bud out from this planet without purpose to serve

and that i was hand plucked from the clouds

to return home

and to stay
