Content warning: mental illness
What do you do when it all unspools?
Re-tie? Re-tie? Re-tie?
Why?
When
there’s no forwards but backwards,
why stick a bandaid on a
disintegrating psyche?
Why?
Well,
we are not just us; we are all of
us–
so think, if you can,
of seeing an empty hearth
swept of residual ash,
ready for tonight’s blaze,
amid the winter peltings.
