I clear the work space and wait...
First come distractions:
thirst, chocolate nudges
dreams, plans
Here come the kids
then needs
Waiting...
Can't I just fall in love & call it a day?
what is the reason for this delay...
I felt were I to scream
I would burn down the floor
the people below, the house
Ire swept the room clean, spotless
In that new emptiness I unraveled myself
took on its shape, there was enough space
to be me - unwedged, uninsulated
anger-stripped of all fears, prejudice
Don't back away, I'm warmer now
