Self-control bows to the victor as I indulge in the
familiar thrill that bubbles like water over rapids, formidable, yet I dare you
to react, to sharpen, tighten, speed up, to see how far you can push me before
my senses implode and I’m in a vacuum, and the wind, the wind, it carries me on cloudy
fingers, until black overwrites…
...through the movie screen around me, I watch confusion through lifting smoke from fires not yet extinguished. I see anger, tears and defeat, an
empty treasure chest at the end of the rainbow, while I stand motionless,
untouched by hand, untouched by emotions, silent and numb from my fall, and I
wait for the light to assemble me once again, while the dark moves over to the
other side of the world.
Excellent.
ReplyDeleteThis could be about a lot of things internal or external. The high of letting go without thought and the low of letting go without thought. The regret or worse numbness. I love it.
