Looking

for someone.

You like to be around 
people you don’t know,
to see if they’re enlightening,
to detect a spark, a light shine, 
in their eyes, an aura, scent or feeling.

A tremble, or disturbance in the
air, a tell indicating
a knowledge of something 
uniquely important,
unforgettably moving, or revealing.

Who are these people?
you cannot know. You use the skills
you nursed, detecting as they cross your
path to quench an inexorable thirst.
