At The Back Of ur Mind

I think the phrase is “whirling dirt-rish feverishly infecting every cell of my brain and my mind and my being.

Round and round, ever cyclical. Faster and faster, sometimes slower and slower but always there

When I can’t see it, I can’t view it in any kind of way. I can’t speak to it but I know it exists

I can’t speak to it but it speaks to me. It speaks to me in rhythms and ghostly memories of long-forgotten places and times and beings

It speaks to me in great nuance of ancestors and family that make believe of childhood memory

But this communication is one way only

I kind of implore it to stop, to improve, to paint good pictures in bright pastel colors, yellow

I’m merely a body for it to pass on memories, times, places, and dates I no longer recall

And I am just a body for it to infect with its negativity, its reminders of mistakes past, present, and future

It’s not a ghost or shard or remnant. It is ever-present. It is always and will be always

I don’t own it yet it is mine and I am its

It’s neither welcome nor unwelcome but within the shell of me and my body and my being and my mind it is ever present
