is there a way to look beyond
the wall where my questions
lay oblivious to my choices
~
until they are made.
~
the quicksand
sucks
whether I stand
or strut.
~
the birds mock me
with the song of their wings.
~
i drink the murky water,
throw up,
clench my fist
to punch the wall.
~
but there is no way over
so i sink and
i sink
to go under
but
~
the questions reach out
to help – and
throw me a rope –
~
but it’s a noose
and they have
my neck.
~
It is my turn
to
mock the birds
now.
