To Nobody

You are beyond intrigue, luminescent when you fill a room.
I adore the flip of your feathery hair, the chestnut glow, your essence
I am filled with light and softness
Your laugh is the very meaning of joy.
I appreciate your nose. Your jaw, your shape, the way you light up and crinkle under your own smile, shyly, boldly, blushing.

Never crane vertebrae around bends

Seeking end or other, elsewhere,

Meaning.

Because, it sits in wait, the twin of

A little shoeless child or a dog at

The doorway when the rest

Is desecrated by static and windy livings,

Beings, flatlining,

Dead.
