undisturbed
insouciant
The
pebble
cracks
the
pristine,
mirror
-like,
surface
of
the
pond
with
barely
a
splash.
The
ripples
it
causes
travel
in
a
perfect
circle
outwards
as
I
count
the
rings
.
There
is
something
about
the
beauty
of
an
undisturbed
space
I
am
compelled
to
break
.
I
stand
back
up
from
my
crouch,
satisfied
that
what
was
once
a
marvel
is
now
, momentarily, marred
by
my
hand
.
I
continue
to
walk
down
the
path
around
the
pond.
I
designed
this
place
to
be
as
perfect
as
a
hallmark
card
.
You
might
think
to
take
someone
here
on
a
first
date
to
share
a
romantic
first
kiss
.
An
anniversary
location
complete
with
a
rope
-swing coaxing
you
into
spontaneous
skinny
dipping.
A
place
for
children
to
slap
their
hands
and
toes
in
the
water
But
its
for
me
.
And
to
me
it
’s
a
safe
space
that
i
can
destroy
.
A
facade
on
top
of
an
empty
void
.
Sanctuary
for
my
emotions
to
run
wild
.
I
have
walked
here
until
my
feet
blistered.
Run
sprints
until
I
passed
out
.
Spent
hours
cutting
down
trees
for
no
other
reason
to
watch
them
fall
. Exploded dynamite
in
the
center
of
the
lake.
Burned
down
the
entire
surrounding
forest
after
drying
out
the
ground
with
the
hot
sun
.
I
love
every
minute
of
destroying
this
perfect
nothing
.
