Grown Up
Grown Up
I weep
now and then
simple things
a song lyric or
an old photo
touching me
in raw places
sliding past
thinking parts
that used to be
sentries at the gate
protecting me
from hot-wired
exposure to myself
instead
defenseless in the
heat of contemplation
glacial walls melt
frozen anguish and
freeze-dried pleasures
transform
set in motion
once again
animated
newly weightless and
simply passing through...
