Elemental
you spin
the elements of your life
in a vacuum
coiled
like a snake
in perpetual hibernation
no light
no truth
no reason
no soft air
to touch you
inside
where living weeps
to unwind itself
to begin feeling
something
anything
the one thing
needed to unravel
its lonely existence-
a touch
of selflessness
how do you do it
I wonder -
survive
not knowing
how to give
or receive
the easiest moments
of every day
