Untouched
written by: Ana Dee
The sun sets and rises
lavender skies melting
into specks of golden light
into pools of darkness.
A plane in the distance
leaves a trail I can’t follow.
My thoughts start pulsing.
You are missing.
At night I walk in circles.
Dirty dishes pile up,
calls go unanswered.
All I do is think of you.
On one hand, I count
just enough reasons
to keep a steady mind
though I rarely feel at ease.
Inspiration plays games
of catch and release.
When it’s my turn
I write for hours.
You are still my muse.
Even in my sleep
I am untouched.
Unbothered
by other bodies,
I only reach for you.
