Purgatorial Incarceration

Helix


a spiral cone
of silence
threatens to deafen me

all alone,
yet feeling crowded

oppressed
by my very freedom
I decline to choose
as is my choice

blinded by feelings
I may never understand
I see
a whirling pool
of confusion
roiling
beneath my feet

it tries to pull me under
make my control of nothing
whither away
into
the final emptiness
of everything pure

Wow Christopher! This is so powerful and full of imagery.  I thought I could feel the whirlpool below "me"! Excellent writing!

Best wishes,

Wonderfully done, my friend.

as is my choice'
