You barely exist right now
You are
Transparent.
Your words soft
And weightless, floating up
Somewhere less painful as
Soon as they escape your mouth
And every muscle on your
Face says you wish you could
Join them.
Float and be nothing. Silent
and no longer attached, no longer
Flinching at every beat of some one
Else's heart.
I wish I could help you. Float you
With helium balloons (the ones we'll walk
Round the zoo for your sister's babyshower
Tomorrow)
Only lightly tied to the earth
In heavenspace, safe
For the light
And the healing
