Gift

I’m going way way down flying straight into a crack

Far far far down and maybe I’ll peek out at the world [or maybe I won’t]

Fight or flight and I seem to choose flight every time

I’m a ball that won’t bounce

A plane with no propellor

So I think it’s easier for you and I if I put my hands over my ears and close my eyes

Firmly

I think it may be easier if I wrap my arms around myself

Tightly

And wait for this to pass

And who knows, maybe when I look up

The storm will have passed.

Spiral

Every time I run-run-run away

There’s a swell of grey, choppy, violent

Over the hills but not far [away]

I have an abstract notion of control of the fear

Certain actions pause proceedings

It’s dark down here

It’s quiet in this cave

I can hear you high above [muffled]

There is no concept of duration

There is no thought of raise

No thought

I spy the monster over the hill

Breath in the air

You don’t scare me [you do]

You don’t control me [you do]

You don’t own me [you do]

I don’t scare you [I do]

I don’t control you [I do]

I don’t own you [I do]

Criss-cross pitter-patter

Mud sludge grey shift

Empty space

Void space

Spiral [down]

Abject

Mist [missed]

lack of rhythm [missed]

cobalt, pyrite

Three layers of dreams

antagnoized

wake [up]

Two layer of life

sleep [daze]

Opening, closing, locked

key [jam]

one layer of end[ing]
