Reassuring Pinches

If you can't find me here

Mirror catch my breath

Deep in the thick of still

All the thirsty beasts come down to drink

Water buffers your skin

Stone forbids me to come in

I taste a ballet in this storm

Even as the paper falls

It dances

And we're big cats pacing fences

Wild cats counting inches

Hungry seeing hungry

Feed on Reassuring Pinches

Play something that will sing

Wear a porch-face frown

Let sun colour us in

When just the hand remembers now

Water buffers our skin

So truly we are untouching

Paper leaps it's ballet in a storm

Whichever way we fall

We're dancing

And we're big cats pacing fences

Wild cats counting inches

Hungry seeing hungry
