Butter

If it had a taste,
it would taste like butter
If it had a sound,
it would reverberate
If you could see it, 
visualize, 
it would be a cosmic echo
streaking across the sky
If I could hold it in my hand, 
it would be fluid
It would feel like the water 
in a cloud
too heavy to let go
too light to hold down
I think that it would lift me
straight up off the ground
I would become its lightning 
a fire in a sound
and yet the taste
of butter 
would surely
bring me straight back down

Can you feel it?
Can you feel it now?
