unrivaled to unraveled. the first 10 days.


 
 
never
  ending
never
  understood
never
  peace
 
 
fighting
  to be
    free . . .
 
 
unrivaled.
 
 
stuck
spikes
swirls
set points

repeat.
 
 
out of the loop

dismissed
diminished
detached
 
 
the aches
the pains
but still
the dreams
the hopes
 
 

 
 
the moon
cold and full
looms over
my decision
to silently
withdraw
until epiphanies
are no longer
muffled like
solid rock
 
 
to be
effervescent
again
to be
clever
again
to be admired
again
to be
april
again
 
 
blocks
trampling
their way
through
openings
green
fresh
inviting
 
 
creative
strength
training
inside
underneath
hidden
difficult
 
 
unraveled.
 
 
but . . .

“you will be okay.
you will be okay.
you will be okay.”
 
 

 
 
[i was going to attempt to explain how these words came to be written. and why. but instead, i think i’ll just let the piece speak for itself. because its creative arc happened quite magically, and the hows and the whys are not always necessary.]
