SPARKLES IN THE RAIN

I wish I knew you

I wish I could see every indentation up close

Every discrepancy

Every little moll

 

I wish your ears could hear what I hear

The universe humming

A void drenched of fear

 

I wish I could smell you

Experience you up close

Feel solace as I watch your smallest gestures

The passing of time

Would be the only measure

 

I wish we could ride the gravy train

Our hair dangling in the wind

At night we would sit on its roof

watching the sparkles

The sparkles in the rain
