7.19.19 9:33am Creative Writing Exercise #1

in #life5 years ago

thinking about how
the words & actions don't align
the intention and virtue
well meaning-- poorly executed

finding meaning
in the interest of others
in the consumption of others.

the void
gaping as it is narrow
everspiraling.

who can tell
whether
it is
forward or back?

‐-------------------------------------------------

what steps am i taking
if i can't figure out North?

in the mountains,
there is patience

but no grace.

who eats first?
my desire or my fear

the walk
on soft mud
hard rocks
cool water
in the dark

follows me home
and in my heart.
