It's quite possible I'm in crisis
On high alert internally
Non combustible but
The precipice lies
Beneath my heavy body.
Forever after.
Forever never.
Long the night long the night.
I wait for their return. My
Long I wait. In hope swift return.
slept a long time beneath the surface..beneath the thin veneer of human skin and pretense.
Well I say sleep in a relative sense
In a restful daze
It's quite possible I'm in crisis
Scared I am not so much
concerned the mist will never clear and I will never be free but I think that might be the price we pay to be alive to be loved and to give love to be more than just an island
As Ruth preps her nails and gets ready for her hair appointment, I sit listening to Underworld. Letting the swirling synth lines and fragmented lyrics notes fold in and out
Today has been a day of introspection quietly
Even my shower was filled with quotes and misquotes thoughts and scraps of mental notepads
With lotion applications and
tight nail polish to open
I an not about to fall deeper
But the deep pulls at me
My feet slip just a little but they will dry soon
A little slip that reminds me I am alive and a life
Beyond the thick fog
That feels safe and fake
