I Have a Feeling
I have a feeling I will eventually get where I need to go
To where it is I am supposed to be
Though, like a butterfly reeling on the wind
At the mercy of the will of life
On this migration
From first light and breath
Until at last the body fails
I suffer every day beneath the skin
For humanity
My heart like a tin can rattles endlessly
Against its prison of ribs
We are born wounded
Mentally
Physically
Spiritually
Honestly, wounded
