tasting worlds

i have these vivid moments

when i see my words, my thoughts

captured in the stillness of an image

an endless sea 

of all the people i know
and maybe will know

each of them holds a world in his/her hands

each is a world in her/his right

in each lie untold possibilities

from each a particular light emanates

through each a thousand branches unfurl

and i, unrecognizable

drunk from everyone's fire

looking for that raging inferno

that endless drop
that setless sun
 into which I can disappear
