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
show our empty hands
as mirrors
see our hearts
Here is
the heart
of all
our troubles
we can(not)
see.
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.
