Possibilities

I am burdened with the knowledge of a million aftermaths. 

My mind splits each possibility, each more real than the last. 

Each path is unnaturally woven with rapid memories. 

As I reach more deeply. 

I discover that I can see the pieces of a family I used to be a part of. 

And the paths that were dull and nonsensical-

Are eclipsed with smiling fragments that turn poignant.
