fear

My sense of danger all but disappeared
for a brief time without fear.
I became sure of the sky
sure of the sun,
Blind to the scattered things.
I uncovered my heart
and there it was
transformed,
and at the last moment
things seem suddenly strange
and beyond my reach.
So not to disturb anyone
as hard as it is
I motion to you.
I grope for your touch
but you do not surrender,
I wither.
