The Back & Neck

Nothing is right... my body and spirit are shifted two feet apart. The mind hinges on stability, arguing reason with timetables... the impact was far more severe than we originally thought. How did this happen... what caused the flux of space and distance? The ripples formed and the edges melted, washing dry the remnants of routine... all because I saw the light. That beautiful, distant light. How quickly it enveloped me, making my heart ache to be bathed in it's wonder... beyond understanding and experience, this change was necessary. The walls, my captor, shook in anticipation... without bending, time was known to be limited. The charred seams of tapestry unwind with desire... the fabric that held this rag-doll existence,  molding a heart, mind, and soul. The thought consumes me, the absence withers new hopes and dreams...how quickly we become addicted to breathing. The feast unending, was threatened with bloated bellies and soiled napkins...satiated to the last, it's will had started to come undone. I'm at a loss, one steeper than all the sums totaled... in the dark, crawling, waiting, weeping. Not for today, not this time... it's not coming. I must remember tomorrow, and the things that grew... unexpected, true, but now vital. Wait for it... it's only a matter of time now.
