Realization

This is about realizing the ways in which things are, and the limbo of moving forward having this knowledge.

Icy stabs hit
Fluttering on the sidewalks of the accustomed, on my skin
Ancient desires choked 
Wailing then embracing within

Fiery musings drowned
Scraping on the streetlight posts of the complacent, in my heart 
Unseasoned prospects surfaced
Crying then lying apart

Racing raindrops in my eyes
Tracing, chasing, pacing 
Startlingly sparing 
In my mind
Swooping in, scrambling out
These burning waters that scour me
