A swift tornado passed over me
Left me disheveled and disoriented.
I should be shocked, but I am not,
Having seen it coming.
I had long suspected,
But knowing you now as I do,
Those remarks come clearer.
A care package? Yes, for certain,
Had I not got lost in the day.
And you tell me the sign of the cross
Will not keep me safe.
And you know, tape might help more,
For every time I open my mouth
I reveal what I wish no one to see
And give away a piece of me.
I wondered how you knew my feelings
Of displacement and inconsequence;
And now I know.
And know that you must laugh at me,
Shrinking in my shoes.
But not for long; I must retain
My equilibrium.
I could open myself to you
As you would wish for me to do,
And though the veils have lifted
The walls of time remain.
I understand your wish to
Sift beneath my brain,
But trust does not come easily
When apprehensions remain.
You will have to tear them down,
Brick by stone by wire,
But accomplish this without
Seeming to do so,
With persistence and gentle
Consistency; word your questions
Carefully.
