stumbling to an understanding. . .

what is this?
barely conceivable. . .
this iconoclastic station. . .
I, unable
to release. . .my spirit.
restless. . . in it's need.
pray, help me
to catch my breath,
& settle my mind,
delay my tendencies.
does reverence wait
intent on blessing?
does reverence wait
for me?
wait
in deepest disappointment?
wait
in hope of relinguishing
burdens, burdening?
wait
in a place
where nothing ever
will console?
a place
of ancient greed.
in vitro growth.
forced growth, despised. . .
disguised. . .
as painful seed.
a stalling sensation
of a pause. . .
a dog-earred page
. . . of need.
a stillness. . .
speculating lose.
no, more at
an absence
of our shame.
a renaming of our deeds.
our hand-holding
ceased.
I climbed alone,
scattered abandoning.
avoiding
any so called bonds.
I avoid
the ties of travesty.
past bindings
left in tatters
3 times 3, & schemed,
that tied us
to these matters
oh, so carelessly.
how comforting
at last, my love
at long last, to be free. . .
oh, my lips
how they are sealed
at my own dire request.
words, they tend to gnarl, to gag,
so as not to form regret. . .
strangled. . .
by the very thoughts
that gave them birth,
that brought about
first breath.
each one chanced & prodigal
& unresolved, still stands.
another precious moment lost . . .
slipped, slipping
from our hands.
gone now in the flux
of passions' reprimand.
nothing. . .
no, I am not confused.
there is nothing. . .now
except
the nothingness
that my resistance, bent, creates
& then feigns
to weld command.
a tether
to a time gone by
abused & laid to rest.
a wringing of my hands.
I find them
crossing at my chest.
a promise
to myself, obliged.
my promise
barely kept. . .
I stumble
to an understanding
& stumbling, yet
I wept. . .
