Susan Walker Poet Prose Poetry

Introvert

Snapping  
jaws  
ruthless 
in 
their 
single minded 
efforts 
to devour 
my
attention  
to my own mind 
time 
and  
silence 
the only portal 
to dissectionof dreams 
organizaton of tasks
My Attention  
to  
my  
inner world 
a crime  
an act of hedonism
the 
agony
of  
the  
pull 
magnified 
when the  
efforts 
to veer it off course 
come not from 
angry unhinged jaws 
but 
from  
the flailing arms
and faces
of 
my most deeply, deeply 
ardently 
loved        
their hearts 
my first love 
the pull 
just
their love of me 
need of me 
even  
this
is  
a yank by cracked rope 
round my head 
tearing  
the thought 
this  
way 
and  
that 
This 
collection of torturous moments          
the 
Hell 
of  
the  
Introvert

ruthless 




in 




their 




single minded 




efforts 




to 




devorer 




my

organizaton of task


 

My Attention  




to

just 




their love of me 




need of me 




even

This 




collection of torturous moments
