What We're Made Of

a pixel you appears
sad, ghostly

alone behind
a lone chair

your soul
flattened like
details at dusk

a haunted firefly,
caught beneath a jar
exhausted at trying
to reach the sky

find the bottom
and crawl out

glass is only sand; we
remain, trapped with
all our permanent illusions

let it slip away

it's easier than you think
and I'll be there to meet you
