April 1st - Helium

Ace of Hearts - Helium

-



Inert, Inflammable

Yet somehow I began
To float
On my first inhale
After my first
Glimpse of a Face
A sudden inward breath of air, and then
Shuddering intoxicating lightness
Heart and lungs
Electric - excited toes
And feet and body
Lifted from the earth
Imbued with something delicate
And new, a new
Weightlessness
I became
Fanatical believing
I could almost touch
The night-black of your firmament
Your incandescent Face of stars

Decades pass - I float here still
Desperate fingers stretching into darkness
Desperate toes ever-reaching for the earth below
