desperation revelation

The heart flutters in the moment

 

Traction pulls pebbles from beneath your feet

releasing them to seek your beginning

down the mountain

 

Looking briskly over a life with your minds eye

you scramble for a foothold

the conclusion “just too heavy”

is instant 

 

All of the things urge you from the summit 

You covered yourself with them until it was all you could see in the mirror

You lost sight of yourself and didn’t know it until now

when you’re sliding

watching the abyss grow

with honestly

only hope 

 

You consider fantasy desperately
