wet souls

Inert words,
golden light,
fire
leaves black, white.
This morning near me matters.
We are forever an occupied building,
roofless, raining indoors.
From above, a skirt in rags falls
with impossible
slowness.
It could be mine.
But is it?
Where is the proof in this
damp glistening
that I exist?
