Inward Odyssey

Eating fire, but entangled
in the cobwebs,
of becoming or not becoming
a child again ;
in the hollow of a maimed body
looking beyond the opaque
hirsutism
of lies.

Path leads to inward lake
where I will  meet you
on the white beach.
And snap the waves.

Let the winds blow now
in reeds,
between cracked heels.
