Seeing You Carefully

seeing you carefully is no easy job for me
i do not easily jump into conclusions
lest there be an injustice on the description of who you are

the magnifying glass does not serve any purpose
you are more than the little details scribbled in your skin
something in you slips like a slimy fish, and i am trying to catch it

the fish net is useless, the mesh too large for one as minute as you
you are too small to be caught, too smart for the nylon threads

i try yoga, and in deep meditation i use my mantra, i chant and fall into
a deep sleep, i dream, i go into an astral travel to be with you

and there you are, in the silence of the stars, in the brightness of the moon
your soul, as beautiful as the goddess of secrecy, without flesh, now
as infinite as divine. At the end, i failed to utter your name.,
