Change
Is coming now
Filling my lungs and heart

Before I felt it on the way
Change was a beautiful ghost

A whimsical speckle of a prospect
A nonsensical wisp of a dream

Change it brought me back
It poured me back into this shell

A phantom woman crab
Dragging this hollowed body alone for so long
I had forgotten how to move forward

With each heavy clacking step  
my shadow wake is where I found
I left more me behind  

Always ever heavier
While lightening the load
