naked eye

by

Crystal Dawn Allen

they say i take it all for granted
and know not how to live in the present
because
every step taken is
a bridge between here and there
i pay no mind to the steps but rather to the stepping
does it make me hollow
to think of ground that has not been touched?
or to be embraced
and be aware of spaces between our flesh?
or to listen to the pauses
in the voices of those speaking
and find the words are boring
dirty dusty cobwebbed useless.
i might as well take a hammer
to the side of a great mountain
and beat my message into the stone.
all the air that breathes around the mountain
will be my symphony
and all the stars you can see in the sky
will dance with the stars i cannot see
