Can you reach out and touch me
please?
Here, let me help you:

first, your hand –
large, well-formed, with
four long fingers and a stubborn thumb –
appears;
then, a forearm, long
and taut, muscles dancing
like butterflies beneath your skin;
reach out, farther and farther …

closer and closer –
I cannot come any closer.

Reach out just a little more,
and I will give you a hand –
pull you out from my dreams

and into my reality.
