Broken Walls Crumble
I live in two states. One black and dark, the other scary and vast. When I grow up I want to be even. No slipping or falling, no soaring and crashing. Last night I wrote fast and hard, breaking two pencils. I scribed my thoughts straight from the vein. Broken walls crumble and I push to climb over them. A hand reaches out, grabbing my ankle. Falling, I am waiting for you to catch me. I throw out a lifeline, throwing it out to boomerang, waiting for it to come back to me. The trees close in, ghastly and crooked. Eyes closed, hands covering my face, and I anticipate what never comes.
