What is the difference between fog
and cloud, vision and ectoplasm?
I lean into vapor, into you,
planchette straining to letters of your name.
I am candleflame, spark and flicker, votive.
You are ghost, opalescent and translucent.
Hovering mist. Virga.
I see you in winter breath,
steam rising like a promise from my cup.
I carry your heart in my throat.
