Do You?
Sometimes I just want to break a window
And scatter the shards from a mountaintop,
Or roll down a hill—tumbling, whirling, spinning
Until breathing is an
impossibility.
Sometimes I wish for purpose beyond
Teeth brushing, education, social interactions,
Arguments, schedules.
Sometimes I think it would be a relief
To be turned out into the vast world,
Uncertain and tender, drifting but free.
Sometimes it all becomes too much and
I curl into myself while life spins on unperturbed,
And faces pass without emotion
And the longing to be acknowledged, recognized, validated
Runs exquisitely deep.
Sometimes dirt and turbulent wind call to me
Catch me unguarded; awaken the wild life force within
Beating her fists to burst out.
Sometimes I want to put it all out there,
Exactly as it is—raging, cosmic
Fire of the soul.
