Bifurcated Emotion

Two in one seam.

Bifurcated Emotion

Ghostly daydreams of a life never had,

ghostly daydreams of the life I lived.

Precarious, the slippery slope of hindsight and rationale,

pulled two directions in one, bifurcated emotion.

A twilight sunset of the mind,

my life is a folded letter to myself.

The tide comes in and the tide goes out,

so it is with my emotion today, hope and dismay gumbo.
