Mar 2018
Endless Edge of the Wood
The crushing,
The Crippling pain,
I can see the path I need but the bars ahead of me just say no.
I step,
I talk,
I scream and walk through this torrid wood,
Made of one part memory,
And one part of fear.
The glear* in my heart hacks away,
Chopping not at the trees,
But at the writer here,
The endless edge of the forest,
Perpetually out of reach.
Breathe.
Close my eyes.
Walk blind.
When I look,
Am I there?
~Robert van Lingen
*physically tangible, yet purely emotional pain
