The catch here is that there is none.
I’m trembling writing this
Because I know I wrote part 1.
I’m just as clueless as you.
The loss, that is true.
The loss of what you cannot lose.
The loss of humanity is eminent.
I’m trying to hold on.
My mind is held in limbo
The lines of truth are blurring
I know I’m not the first to feel this.
You tell yourself somehow
Life. Will. Change.
YOU. WILL. CHANGE
Fear is always plotting.
Yet, here we are
No recognition of what
Or how we can claim
Some sort of relief.
Banging on the walls
Of systems that won’t fall
Doing injustices to all
This is not our home.
I digress…I won’t give up.
And I sure as hell
Won’t let them speak to
Me that way.
My grandmother is a WW2 firecracker
I take in all her knowledge.
Even in her last days
She wishes she got a tattoo
A laced butterfly. I laugh.
She is progressive.
That gives me a sliver of hope
We can break grounds
Move buildings
Make right.
It’s a butterfly effect after all.
