Don't look for me
Don't look for me.
My fingers,
You'll never find them in the branches of the trees
That comfort your empty nightfalls
Nor in the ripples of the waters
That mirror your frozen eyes.
My breasts,
You'll never find them in the curves of the hills
That await your footsteps to shape them
Nor in the softness of the snow
That tickles your face when you search me.
My hair,
You'll never find it in the flame of the sun
That scorches your soul when it rises
Nor in the grass of the forests
That gathers your trails and then gulps them.
My back,
You'll never find it in the walls of the buildings
That shadow your face as you wander
Nor in the platitude of the horizon
That collides with your iris.
My lips,
You'll never find them in the summer poppies
That benumb you in oblivion
Nor in the blood of the heart
That chains you to me.
Don't look for me, I'm here.
My fingers,
You'll never find them in the branches of the trees
That comfort your empty nightfalls
Nor in the ripples of the waters
That mirror your frozen eyes.
My breasts,
You'll never find them in the curves of the hills
That await your footsteps to shape them
Nor in the softness of the snow
That tickles your face when you search me.
My hair,
You'll never find it in the flame of the sun
That scorches your soul when it rises
Nor in the grass of the forests
That gathers your trails and then gulps them.
My back,
You'll never find it in the walls of the buildings
That shadow your face as you wander
Nor in the platitude of the horizon
That collides with your iris.
My lips,
You'll never find them in the summer poppies
That benumb you in oblivion
Nor in the blood of the heart
That chains you to me.
Don't look for me, I'm here.
