OF CIRCUMSTANCE BORN

Folder: 
JOURNAL#23

tension

a malnourished moment

left behind

merriment's front

tied up in the waits own ropes

of wrinkled disbelief

even time falters

tangled up as it is

in shuttered shock waves

married to unrepentant doubts

(distant relatives to the family of fear)

the attempt to rise above

draws forth

great gulping gasps of fragile

humanity

though the longing I must concede

carries with it a truly steep price

my usual vitality

partially erased.............
