The Essence Of Me
You have to dig deep
to find me in there -
the shape of my face,
the source of my breath
among the squiggles and swirls
making a frame for my hiding place.
I am more than the breeze of those movements
the touch of those fripperies,
those feathers and fans
and what lies beneath is more fluid,
more difficult to grasp
than my exhalations.
I am more than black and blue,
more than breath and bone,
so much more
and my essence lies in there somewhere
waiting to be discovered.
