Being Today

 

Being in these days can be

Incredibly Traumatic – Horrible

for some

and

So, So Much a Time of

Challenging and Major

Opportunities

to Grow, to Be, for me

--Struggling in a Deepening

Horrific Tunnel

vs. Sand – slowing one’s

Momentum

in Notable,

but Not – Overwhelming Ways

--The Fog Horn

for One – I Know

is 3 inches – from

Unprotected Ears

While for Me

It Feels – like

Sound Cancelling Headphones

Creating a Real Silence

Much, if Not Most

of the Time and

--I’m not Queer

I’m not Female

I’m not Poor

I’m – generally

Full of Energy

How –

Can I Really Understand?

Hearing

Tis not the Same

as Trying – Seriously Trying

to Listen

I don’t Know

What I

Don’t Know

--Is Caring – Enough?

Perhaps

Perhaps

In a Best of Times

and Spaces

It might be

But Now

Now

It’s Very – Very Unclear

--Tears and

Even Fears

Validation – Self or Other

Emotions –

at Wild Extremes

--I am

In the life – that is

Both Deeply Meaningful

and Stuck – Am I Stuck?

Needing to Unstick Myself

to – Stop

Assaulting the Funny Bones

of My Heart

My Innards

Causing Trauma

Must Stop!

Are My Words Real?

I Hope So!
