Afterbirth

Afterbirth



alone

floating in

amniotic fantasy

tides of fate caressing

fragile reality

contemplating

a not yet navel



stranger

to internal tide

creating my own wake

drawn and drafted

on peaceful waves

soon to break



thrust

from one reality

into another

retreating back into

an amnesia centesis:

a womb with a view

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Isolation and loneliness.  It happens even in a room full of people.
