Two Souls in Limbo

Written: May 12, 2025, for contest by Brian Strand

              *************************

layers of my identity are—
         deceptive
caught in 
           our
                cobweb
shadows of
           who i once was
                            hang 
                            in 
                            uncertainty~

stripping
         my 
               essence
                   from palms of your hands~

suspended
            in limbo
                      two 
                         of us
   
                                                  who are we
                    If not a creature of our m a k i n g

      sanity
            deity
                martyr turned sacrifice—

                              what am I now

                                   other than 
                                          a 
                               lingering g h o s t  
  

OPEN FORM created by Brian Strand: in lowercase without grammatical symbols, uses spaces&breaks relying upon 'the one breath limitation' & as a  'happening' requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input &respond in a two way interplay & interpretatIon unique to the moment& changing according to mood & thus is inherently variable.
