Smash

Out of control
Going in circles
You say one thing
And mean another
Spinning around
This isn’t fun
It’s nauseating
Give it up already
Fate knows what
I never will
All I want is some control
Not this freefall
The pot forms
The sides and rim
Are smooth
Such a pretty ceramic
All I want is to be
Wanted not just needed
All I want is some legit
Love for my being
I want to be a care
Not a responsibility
The clouds pour out the glaze
On this piece of pottery
Out of the kiln now
It’s been painted
Ready to be adored
But we’ve got other plans
It’s in the window
Everyone walks by
They don’t see the cracks inside
They don’t know its faults
Put it on a shelf
Knowing it’s too high up
It teeters and falls

A Weekend in Buxton
All my life, I’ve been English in an emotional, mental, and social way, but never a physical one until the Spring of 2022 when all my Anglophile dreams came true. I was finally able to visit my soul country, meet my wonderful online friends in person, and confirm my belief that it was where I belonged.
