Folding Washing Thoughts
It's been a long time coming
My heart swells with the need to change
But I can't do that
I just need to carve out pockets
Little places where I exist
And am seen
I am more than
A someone
Who can be judged on
Whether I replaced an item
That we ran out of
That doesn't define me
I pat myself down
To see what I've lost
And I don't know what it is
I wake in the night
Leaping up, searching
Trying to remember
I can't set my attention
To this or that
I'm on the breeze
Whilst secured
With all the scaffolding
I put in place
I wonder
If I could follow the essence of me
Along an unhindered path
Watch myself
Float from place to place
Until I settle
Where would I be
What would I feel like
Who would I be
Without knowing that
I can't start the journey
And without starting the journey
I stay grounded
In all senses of the word
