Undone


 

There is a comfort an ease.
Perhaps, akin to a beloved book
The one that can never be replaced.

Long ago are the days, praying for rain.

The precious present, the future, one in the same.

Along the cream pages, stories for my mind.

A family telling its riddle from the start of opening credits.

A lost waif pining over windmills.

Falling over the waterfalls.

Gagging on craggy little pills.

Yet, like thrift store denim,

indifference came in.

Fading the starched sheath.

Anew, it loosened the seams.

There is a comfort and ease with

‘she has come undone.’…

A comfort and ease to giving in…in which to go on.

Trying to leave a dysfunctional family is like holding a snowball in the rain. As soon as, you have enough pliable resentment...enough to throw away. It melts. And, you have to start all over again.

Born lost...No need to be found. Wandering is a precious gift.
