To walk against the wind
feel the fever race you
for sanity or forgiveness
but it doesn't matter anyway

you and your body are miles
apart but that's ok time often
twists in upon itself why I know
yesterdays that happen everyday

I feel them rip the breath from me
over and again each time adding that
extra nausea of squelching suffocation
not to fear the body blunders on its way

while the thing called I in treetops dwell
having tried to hide inside self rusted out
and burst apart the easy open childproof I
spilling out in crumpled stains unwashable

yet at times almost stylish to the naked eye
depending where the wind of wisdom lies
as it almost always does if one dares a foot
from trodden path try where was my body again

never mind the foundation blocks emotions
will call for you again fuse you back together
there is your stitch in time as you Raggedy Human
doll prepare for dismemberment yet once again

A simple reincarnate lifetime just once
wouldn't you love to pay your money
takes your chances and see the cinemascope of life
end the way you wanted
......... now that would be a beginning

I had many emotions throughout this reading.  Sadness, frustration, defeat, all mixed in with a very intelligent writing.

I enjoyed this very much.  I think I would like to read over it a few more times slowly, as to capture all you've put into it, which is much.

KJ---I love this!  There's just way too much too absorb in one reading...so I will save it.  I have to agree, what a beginning that would be.  ---RJ

Remarkable...this began its flow as a small stream, quickly being surged with new rainfall, and became a torrent of emotion....

remarkable.
