Entanglement

having been created 
with painful self awareness,
and
shielded from harms-protected from self 
I navigate
Yellow Brick
river bottom
stepping stones
while I
step lightly through 
Kansas 
returning we, you, they, them 
home

The departed possess
no clock 
no calendar 
yet they still love us
right now

This Entanglement 
like it or not 
blankets me all days 
and brutal nights 
until I embrace them again
