Loss
Dec 15, 2023
Staring at swirling echoes
from the past
forming unity of mind
dazed from neglect
refined from realization.
Drifting in remnants
of a former host.
New and merry
carrying gifts of hope
and lust, carved out
in a box holding fear.
Dipping into reality
reverts memories
to shallow rhythm
drumming away
evidence of breathing.
What remains is stolen.
Exposure to truths
is painful for the rest of
of the ride.
Home.
