Days roll by in a melancholy chaos.
Bumping along,
banging into each other as if they've spent
all night face first in a bottle.
They soon become unrecognizable
as individuals.
Is that yesterday?
Today?
Tomorrow?
Blurred beyond my vision,
rest blue skies.
Welcoming as a grandmother with a look of affection,
soft brown eyes.
Can I break the cycle?
The disconsolate linger?
The emptiness?
Steady earth
unsteady under my feet.
It's as though I've dizzied my exhausted body
just through standing.
Where do I walk?
Rest?
Fall?

Bumping along,

Blurred beyond my vision,

Welcoming as a grandmother with a look of affection,

Can I break the cycle?
The disconsolate linger?
The emptiness?
Steady earth

It's as though I've dizzied my exhausted body
just through standing.
Where do I walk?
Rest?
