you know it would be wise
to find shelter in disguise
you know it would apply
to find an echo of your mind
reciprocal – changing sides
blurring the hand in front of your eyes
well, it all will go away someday
but not now
old as souls can be
misguided hidden in sulci
raised to be kind and shallow
aged to deny and fall
kinda hard to be the one to say: “i told you so”
lightning splits some stones
bruises muscles, bruises bones
concussion damage acts as relief
finally you will perceive
brain tissue debris adjusting to gravity
forming an amniotic cavity
fane denies – so it will be denied
close your eyes until the anchor is aweigh
until movement strikes
until everything is flowing again
all but uneffected by the intermediate step you tried to accumulate
