Of Hollow Mind & Heart

Shifting the kitchen curtain over to the right, separating thin window from wall. There's a resistance to witness, dark light of troubled pane as an imbalance offsets my true substance and demeanor. Drawing lips forward to taste any wrinkles of the sun, I step away. Easing a desperate mind with a patchwork of memories can be so simple. Desecrating any form of entrapment by slipping into a mode of neutrality. Heavily bagging the coated burdens like donated fabric of lessons learned. Evidence taints a stranger's hand as I am flawless and free of wretched option. My confessions will for a scapegoat. Entombed are the desires I quench, stark-naked inside the walls and suspended. Yet, I am threatened by introduction and division. Failing to follow the strategies that assert me, Quarreling with myself as the final curtain folds.
