Intromission

Not until we are lost do we begin to understand ourselves. - Thoreau

clinging to dogma

with an atomic gauntlet hurled downward

caught in a catechistic concordance

in a lurid jail cell with a minion of the devils pawns

unfettered and unfurled

on a first name basis with death

my soul trapped on the fulcrum of a dense reality

time and truth an enigma

in sheer, unmitigated splendor

you came and jiggled a stuck key

tears turned into a rainbow waterfall

introducing me to me

Author's Note

Life isn't about finding yourself; it's about creating yourself. So live the life you imagined. - Thoreau
