untitled
virtual words
cast in cyberspace
to represent emotion
like a statue
cast in bronze
to represent a hero
or a musician
or a god
every vein on the back of your hand
every pore in your skin
may be captured in bronze
but never the elemental you
never the yearning or the fear
virtual words may be captured
from Dickens, Kant
or thesaurus.com
and cast forever in cyberspace
but the yearning and the fear
the elemental you
resists the soulless journey
which bypasses the heart
