still, none the wiser (poetry)

more

they come to me with a smile.

with kind words,

with gentle motions,

as if i am something bound to

fall apart upon

a sound too loud.

but it's you, like a home,

who they'll always

go back to.

i am a moment,

a blur in their eyes,

while you are time itself.

i can only watch from a distance

and breathe it in,

while you are the horizon,

are the breath,

are.

i wished so many of my days

away for just a simple glimpse,

a tiny taste of all that i am not.

so many of my days i

searched and grabbed and

cried for my simple, tiny

missing pieces

because this can't be all there is.

i have to be more.

there has

to be

something

more

to me

than me.

so many of my days, and i

am still, none the wiser.
