ouroboros & i
a stiff lesson in letting go.
a fastball to the chest.
an image of death
approaching on his warhorse.
got a lot to accept about catch
and release,
about the karmic patterns chasing me.
i'll eat my own tail before i acknowledge
history is repeating itself.
a recursive curse
of love unreturned,
rebirths.
dizzy at the sight of my own bleeding/bleating heart,
i howl in frenzy and
deny i was bit by a werewolf
in the new moon's dark.
am i as translucent,
as you are opaque?
does my breath feel like an earthquake
as i quiver at the sound of your name?
nowadays,
i am sure of nothing
more than my spinning.
your elusive grin
pins me to the wet dirt of august,
and dares me to chase you all over again.
a lesson in walking away.
a slow burn in the stomach.
a never-ending plummet
into this fever-dream's abyss.
