Second Sight

Second Sight
by Michael R. Burch

I never touched you:

that was my mistake.

 

Deep within,

I still feel the ache.

 

Can an unformed thing

eternally break?

 

***

 

Now, from a great distance,

I see you again

 

not as you are now,

but as you were then:

 

eternally present

and Sovereign.
