A Wish

If only I could reach
the glittering vicinity
of your mind
through this raging
storm…

I could have
wiped my footsteps
and gotten lost quickly
into your domain
forever!

If only I could reach
for your eyes…

I could have
plucked your eyebrows
and turned to
the hostile heavens
and built for ourselves
a strong nest
faster than any master
bird…

And protected you
from those blistering
winds
