(?)

Fingers pressed against the walls
fragile conglomeration
of cracks and splits
we have structured
with (in)
ourselves

dust feathers on our fingers.
brittle walls crumble
ponderously
we pull our heavy limbs out
from beneath the press
of what we know

we pass out
(of)
our constraints

we are free
( ?)

the unfamiliar snarls
our limbs
with fear
we move slowly

probing fingers
touching a picture
of what lies ahead

we move
(for)
(to)
ward
those fingers

paint a picture
show our empty hands
as mirrors
see our hearts

Here is
the heart
of all
our troubles

we can(not)
see.

  1. Lots of great imagery (as always is in your work). Parenthetical entrapment of the words doesn't always make sense to me; but, where it works, it's like you've suddenly given us a graphic and not just text. Keep honing this one, Em. Love you.
