A couple poems I wrote and submitted, but now can post...
Loss of Self
She walks quickly past
ducking
hiding
Ghosts in trees
In the cement
Memory clawing to the surface
concrete
painful
Regret
weakness
wanting to belong
connection
now lost
scarring protection
their icy hands freezing out
Innocence
Eyes widened to the darkness.
The Fall
That moment
where you are who you are
I look at you
connection
a pull
I know not what
I resist
not here
never there
never again
But I cannot stop
powerless
drawn by
the you of you
curiosity
need
I slowly lose myself
in the possibility
the fantasy
you become real
and illusory
all at once.
