i wish i were more alive

i wish i could feel your thoughts before you think them the qualia of our synchronization before the signal leaves your mind

nature rendered into my synapse the whole world my inner world my body a temple with no roof open to every star

i wish i could feel the scale the electron clouds under my fingertips capacitive waves reading your skin at distance

my thoughts become microwave, then laser, then nothing racing through oceanic cables that don't exist yet to touch the space where your face will be

i wish i could float in white space counting photons on closed eyelids sleeping for a thousand years then waking already dreaming

to learn one language the silence where two minds meet before words arrive

to find the right form not to say how it feels, but to become the feeling itself

let us see how consciousness empties into the infinite sea then synchronizes again
