I tease the thought of diving into the past as I waver in the doorway.
I didn’t mean to stumble into you. I forgot you were there.
Unexpected my mind is thrust back submerged in discomfort. My body follows suit with rapid heartbeat of fear, adrenaline, shame.
I meant to release. To pluck out the deep rooted plagues plugged into my spine, writers of the program.
I didn’t mean to find you. I forgot you were here.
Shocked by the cruelty of it, knocked down by a wave and tumbled in the surf. I need to paddle back. Back to the stillness. Calm. I thought was unshakable- unbreakable.
With wavering voice i stutter out the word- I am word.
I had been ready to command release. Rip out, shatter the framework with purpose. I had been ready, it was time to rebuild.
But no, I wasn’t ready. I didn’t expect to find YOU here hidden in the dark. You surprised me.
