I do not pray.
I believe in this hum.
The static between
fingertips.
How the sadness
in your voice turned
the air cooler
—Violet, if you must know.
And my joy shimmered
gold.
So, we move. All of
us. Spinning through rooms.
A beautiful collision of
souls.
Unseen, but felt.
Breathing in. Exhaling out.
Merging.
I am not religious, but when
it ends—if it ends,
the world keeps spinning,
our colors fading.
Something escapes us.
Suspended among centuries.
Not a soul unknown.
Maybe we are made
of everything
anyone has let go of.
Perhaps that is enough.
