Etched in the illusion of time

running through fields of gold
with all but a memory
to keep me tied by
the hands
to fence posts of deep-rooted lies

the twine around my flesh
broken
as it cuts delicately brittle wrists
the scars will never leave

like paths
cut through the earth's terra cotta plains
not from fingers
but by the potter's feet
and Bohemian songs
notes trilling sweetly 'fore they fade

faintly aware
of how you follow
picking up
pieces of my aura
to add them to yours
as it splinters from the centuries

though I can't take my eyes off you
invisibly
watching
through the strands of hair that fell
in front of my vision
entangled from the listless weaving of
dreams
during the night

all dressed up in these
fields of gold
and silver
breaths
with no where to go

but home

For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch,
And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss.--"Romeo and Juliet"
