the tethers tear off to no longer hold me
my soles leave with my toes
the bones keeping shape fold
skin unspools off a fleeting form
restraints I can’t recognize
what textures I feel split without limit
lighter than a single brush thread
nothing unnerves me as I stretch
into an upsurge to skies over my roof
there is no way to see, but the air through me speaks volumes
all figures flora and fauna stir through the spaces I fill
my pipes vibrate whistles on chords
I give out all my echo, a wisp something now unwoven
an uncanny ubiquity
reaching faintly
for the place where I can’t walk
I have no hold, but my embrace stretches to a hundred ends
