If you can’t find me here
Mirror catch my breath
Deep in the thick of still
All the thirsty beasts come down to drink
Water buffers your skin
Stone forbids me to come in I taste a ballet in this storm
Even as the paper falls
It dances
And we’re big cats pacing fences
Wild cats counting inches
Hungry seeing hungry
Feed on Reassuring Pinches
Play something that will sing
Wear a porch-face frown
Let sun colour us in When just the hand remembers now
Water buffers our skin
So truly we are untouching
Paper leaps its ballet in a storm
Whichever way we fall
We’re dancing
And we’re big cats pacing fences
Wild cats counting inches
Hungry seeing hungry
Feed on Reassuring Pinches
