like_myself
mon i'm running to catch

a falling ember in the dry grass

likeness of myself

trace of scratched out lines
chiseled pictograph

i can't see myself
clearly it hides

i can't see
my
self
with foreign eyes

i am caught in a noose
slipknot


i'm running to catch myself
tugging loose the thread

trying not to unravel what i wind
trying not to jumble
biting with teeth to grip to
not let go

pipedream that was fantastic. i love simple pieces, and this was just so direct and beautiful that i read it twice, thrice, four times, just to delight in the neat little skippity-skip of short lines that clip themselves short so precisely. what a joy. 030919

pipedream the pleasure was ALL mine, my dear :)

and i also know how good it feels when someone bothers to actually tell you how a poem felt to them...shores up insecurities :)
