Describing it.

Describing it.

A Poem by dukovan
"

attempt at reconciling my ambiguous nature. plus is its gorgeous out.

"
Alone in the willows breeze, I am counting backwards.
I attempt to make my blood shift currents.
I skim through the photo album as best I can remember.
Where beings were what I don't remember them as
until I see them again.

Faces and bodies pile and I remember my own fall.
I was born in October and that always felt so significant.
As lazy as I can be, at least I can appreciate how colors change,
and that death is beautiful without fear.
I'm more afraid to cry than to die.

I'm more afraid of being seen than anything.
So I type and fill shadows of myself onto white paper.
Occasionally ink bleeds into other letters
and I see the similarities of my uncles.
and the differences between me and my dad.

If I'm waiting with out reference,
it is not without reverence.
It is a quiet space of shade 
where I can't tell the difference as much
and IT isn't so ambiguous after all.
