Human (iv fridays)

We are watching
Apparitions of ourselves
To inventions
With no earthly tongues to tell
Still suspected, we lay the surface to repel
Off earth

We are mirages
A trick of light a slide of hand
When what we want is
To be touchable again

All five senses
Emerging from the fog
Let's be human
While we still remember how

It is not a failure to be flawed
It's beautifully symptomatic
I am not afraid of being more than what I've been

I want to see how the light falls
I want to feel it on my skin
So how do I begin?

We are breezes, chasing after wind
Two unjointed pieces, searching for a way to fit
Sleepers waking, in the half light up till now
Let's be human while we still remember how
