My fingers are cold,

the skin is dry, rough,

slippery,

still,

the absolute zero ice

of things

melt

in my hands.

 

I warm the Galaxy.

 

I try to grab onto ideas

and they trickle through my dreams

months later, shapeless.

When I can not do anything about it any more

and I have no plans for the future.

 

I try to hang onto people

and they slide along my love

invisible, unseen.

When I want to see the non-existent

and I don’t see the obvious.

 

I try to touch the solid colors

and they mix in between the creases

unclear, rebellious.

When I want to define the transient

and restrain inhuman forces.

 

My fingers are frozen now,

motionless,

numb,

The Galaxy is molten now,

flowing,

sore.
