Consuming and inflowing
Filling up and enlarging
Much darkness, much dribble
Lots of “should be” and “how to”
Never outward and directing
Never releasing and expelling
Always enter, enter, entering
Stretched out too far
Too big for the skin
Stretch marks and tired eyes
Brow furrows and lip lines
Never balanced and connecting
Never condensing or compressing
Always spread, spread, spreading
Filling and filling
Never whole or complete
Blank pages and empty words
Shadowed light and cautious stepping
Never healed and unbroken
Never wondrous or joyful
Always search, search, searching
Questioning and doubting
Too hollow for luminosity
Neck aching and soul shaking
Tears breaking and smile faking
Never new and reborn
Never strong or resolved
Always reach, reach, reaching
Comment, too!
