Missed Connection

#posts #poetryWere you the stranger dressed in electricity
who floated above the tarmac without contact,
who smiled in morse code, smelled of lavender
and engine oil, who spoke in rapid static bursts
which I understood to be secrets never spoken?
Did you splinter my sternum, peer inside to find
distant storms and lightning brewing? Did you fold
yourself into the air and vanish, entering the unseen
creases of reality as easily as catching a bus?
Were your irises burnt into the pavement for days?
Please respond to me if so, I have your wallet.
The amazing Charlie and Jake set my poem Condolences to music in their Echoes and Edges livestream a week ago. Check it out (and all the other brilliant poems and music)
