Unlearned Rot

Ancestral Hands

By Jessie FoleyPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

Sapient sensuality.

I'm seeing games, and

Leave it be.

While wondering,

What is wrong with me?

Self preservation, feeling…

Cowardly.

Severing the child's dream.

Lay bare to the violence,

Of intimacy.

Exchange, or offering?

Depends on a sense,

Of boundaries.

Self care the subtlest reckoning,

Release from the amber’s dream.
