Weight & Buoyancy
Location
Well...it's about midnight now,
And I've spent the whole night missing you.
My homework sits on my desk, forgotten,
Because what are vectors to me when
The only gravity I can feel is wherever you are;
Truly, if the window were open,
I might slip out and drift away west,
And to the north, and set down
My bare feet on your windowsill like
A silent Peter Pan, come to spirit you
Away, and you would take my
Cold fingers in your warm hands,
and fly away with me.
But no, the pencil-scratched lines
Swell slowly back into my mind,
Weighting my ankles back to the floor,
And I can but sigh, reaching out
To draw the eraser once again
Across the faint lines of my
Nighttime daydream.
