One Day

The sun decided that nothing would look the same

The light on this day would accent everything differently

That was a day of hiding

Yet the old, and known hiding places were gone

Frantic

Where to hide

Panic – NO

Not this time

February 5th

I find myself floating on a raft of inaction 

In a sea of frenzy. 

It is easier to stumble along

My fear makes me smell

My partner says, “Do not leave.”

Color me confused

Confused on the need to understand

Why it would 

Make me cry

Why

Like the water in the river

Flowing over the rocks

Carving them into shapes the rocks will not recognize

So slowly as to intimate the pain

Unlike the water 

Carving them to expose

To reveal what might be hidden

Without regard

Certainly without respect

As the rituals are lost

The stone knows no better

Or

I do not know

So the carver brings it into the light screaming to be seen 

Bloodied with dust of years

Polished with the pain of exposure
