Light Things on Air

Though I touch your flesh

You couldn't be more gone

If you turned to ashes

Before these shivering, naked eyes

And blew away like autumn leaves

Into a frigid gale

And like those light things on air

Bits of the stranger I used to know

Come back my way

Like television signals

Into my emotion-fuzzed mind

I long for an ending

From a trite film

For my joy to regenerate

Your freezer burned soul

To rebirth the bits of you

That life killed
