Handscape

As I run a finger

Through the air,

I make wind

Where no one cares.



When I wave a palm

To the sky,

I make a friend

That often replies

With such frightening clarity

That I feel somewhat weakened.



And if this world

Is seventy percent water

And thirty land,

The oxygen then

Must be buried in the sand.



The fractionless air

That catches a stare from my greediest hand

Is trapped in a knuckled embrace

So that I may later stuff my face

When in need of a breath.



Fingered landscapes throughout the wind -

Where I draw my own maps and sing

Of all the things

Existing perpendicular to the ground we're in.



That 0 %

That no one looks at

Seems divisible

By nothing.

But you see, it's really there.

It's just... invisible.
