In through the door of unsaid
Deeper into the cave
I crawl
Breathing deeper than
I have the breath to breathe
Warmth in a box
Rattling my brain
For now
Don’t try to say a word
Leave the tears under the stairs
My heart only breaks
When it’s alive
And I’m feeling
Something or anything
I come up to find my
Silver lining, my family of challenge
Yet, my unsettled life
Turns upside-down at the first chance
I blink and find myself in a
Hall of mirrors
Nothing is as it seems
The pool next to me
Will expand and contract
Breathing better than I can
I grab hold of a bottle
Beautiful
The struggle to unleash the
Liquid
Is justified by the giggling
Into the goblet of my mouth
A swish onto the pallet
And the tenderness of the
Moment lets me go and I can
Go back to numb once again
The flood comes and goes
The pen ebbs and flows
The rush of weather contributes to
The cold and flat
Life is as steady as this
Silly etch-a sketch
