flow grates against the grain
bonds and connects break,
pulled, reforming, reaching,
SNAP–
broken–
moves away.
//
the self is shattered
old ideas crack
reveal child self in pain.
//
cracks, perturbed, reaching into
shards. pulled away.
what I thought was clear was a mirror
concealing a mask.
the mask I thought was flesh slips.
the knowledge of self distrubed.
//
swirling flow, life cintinues,
I want it all to stop-
to pick up the pieces,
examine each and understand
it’s purpose and placement in the whole
//
the pieces fly away in the wind.
a maelstrom- pulls at my
mask I didn’t know was a mask.
shocked to my core-
stillness is not an option.
Inaction isn’t an option-
I take it anyway.
