Somewhere Inside
I float up, steam on a winter morning
Curling into myself
I curl and return to me
You
No. Not yet. I am still steam
Vague and shifting until I disappear
Steam on a Vermont Winter day
Grey and malice
Two souls defending false echoes
With hatred and competition
But the land is dormant
And covered in frost and ice
Somewhere inside, it is warm
Somewhere inside steam, not from coffee, rises and shifts and returns to itself.
Somewhere inside.
