Inference

Sunshine days 

You fool yourself 

With ghosts of meaning

Existing in smiles 

Show me honesty in your teeth

In the humid air between these pillows

Show me how I want it to be

You can’t fool me

Lucid with confusion

As I hold fast to the lie 

I am not discerning the emotions 

You gift them to me

In fast breaths of need 

Crescendos of unheard promises 

Frothing at the sheets 

Make of it what you will

Take me to the cliff

Let me jump

Let me build my wings

Let me land within the chaos

It is only salt and air

Nothing to be frightened of

Nothing at all
