Falling into
written July 7th, 2021

always a child      
never a child      
without a face      
suspended in this twilight      
no-where and in no-time      
floating in air      
my faith is      
the tight grasp        
keeping you from      
falling into the abyss      
where children are crushed      
like fallen fruitβ€”      
or am I keeping you    
from falling into grace?
One of the pleasures of my strange memory is finding unexpected and unremembered things written in my notebook. This poem is from one of those.

I try to heal, myself and parts inside. It is difficult to imagine how to do things differently, and this is stable at least.

Alternate ending:
or is it grace
you would fall into
if I let go?
