Missing Senses
miss looking at the puddle and seeing water, not current
i miss looking at the sky and seeing clouds, not canvas
i miss looking at the road and seeing cars, not journey
i miss looking.
i miss hearing sound, not voices
i miss hearing noises, not presence
i miss hearing and figuring what it is, not measuring the distance
i miss hearing.
i miss smelling a rose when its a flower, not scent
i miss smelling food and getting hungry, not is it good enough
i miss smelling, not recognizing
i miss smelling.
i miss tasting that sugar is sweet, not gesture
i miss tasting that salt is salty, not tears
i miss tasting that lime is sour, not a frown
i miss tasting is with my tongue.
i miss touching soft silk, not being
i miss touching rough pebbles, not treatment
i miss touching smooth mirror, not wishing what my day will be
i miss touching is with my skin.
i miss when heavy is when lifting a load, not my chest
i miss when light is feather, not head
i miss when full is after a meal, not desire
i miss when empty is a box filled with air, not soul-less body
i miss the time when weight and volume is numbers
i miss getting to bed to rest,
i miss waking up to the sunshine,
i miss when the mattress is where i sleep on.
i miss looking at the sky and seeing clouds, not canvas
i miss looking at the road and seeing cars, not journey
i miss looking.
i miss hearing sound, not voices
i miss hearing noises, not presence
i miss hearing and figuring what it is, not measuring the distance
i miss hearing.
i miss smelling a rose when its a flower, not scent
i miss smelling food and getting hungry, not is it good enough
i miss smelling, not recognizing
i miss smelling.
i miss tasting that sugar is sweet, not gesture
i miss tasting that salt is salty, not tears
i miss tasting that lime is sour, not a frown
i miss tasting is with my tongue.
i miss touching soft silk, not being
i miss touching rough pebbles, not treatment
i miss touching smooth mirror, not wishing what my day will be
i miss touching is with my skin.
i miss when heavy is when lifting a load, not my chest
i miss when light is feather, not head
i miss when full is after a meal, not desire
i miss when empty is a box filled with air, not soul-less body
i miss the time when weight and volume is numbers
i miss getting to bed to rest,
i miss waking up to the sunshine,
i miss when the mattress is where i sleep on.
