I hold the universe,
blue skies in a bottle,
salty air fattening my lungs.
The taste of wild verbenas
on my skin,
whispering their fragrance,
lavender moisture across
my lips.
Alter the wind.
A gasp upon first glance.
Hold a mirror to my soul,
envision yourself staring back
A gentle caress of wind
and soft rain upon
my dry ground.
