Holy Godlessness (Embracing my inner Earthling)
by sgholter
I tell her that tomorrow
Slides slowly to meet my
Familiar night.
That the changes are few
And subtle. I am OK, I say,
Face still cold from last night's
Pavement.
Truth is I'm terrified.
Heartbroken and soaked in
Myself, clinging to the past with
One hand, fighting its demons
With the other. Terrified.
Embracing my inner
Earthling. Loathing it.
Terrified. Loving it.
I used to think I was only human.
Now I
Know.
