Counter Clockwise

Take a turn
Sit in place
Spinning
Twirling as thoughts,
Images pierce
Through space
Into time
Unyielding.
Pictures unwanted,
Yet treasured,
As reminders
Of what
Not to do.https://i0.wp.com/scijinks.jpl.nasa.gov/review/tornado/tornado-lightning-lrg.png

Disconnected

I am disconnected
From life,
From friends,
From living
As I wait
Hour after hour
For things to improve.

Day after day
One step at a time
I move through.
Thoughts fogged over
As past
Pain tramples through,
Shredding day’s intent.

But waiting
Does not help.
Static memories
Only serve
To tear further
the psyche, the playground
Of life.
