Ramblings

Falling, falling into myself. I explode and scatter across time and the cosmos. I split myself down the middle and across the line, sectioning myself out to the world. I keep my heart though and take it bite by bite. The tears threaten to trickle down, but they never fall, for I am locked inside myself. I am caged in bones. My bones keep the poison in. Only the poison escapes sometimes through me pores, I guess. The sun absorbs me. I'm nothing and all. I dance around myself singing songs, taunting songs, love songs. All of me is flaking away into the ocean, the air, the trees, dirty streets, and onto other people as they pass by. You are all of us. I am all of me. The girl at her wheel, spinning, spinning dreams, losing all and gaining all. My hair and sweat fly around me. A mad woman never stopping to take a break. My fingers thread, thread and knot and thread again. My eyes never leave the project before me. A pile of dust on the floor. It never ends. Time goes on and on and stops for no one. After I'm long gone someone will be at her spindle working herself to the bone, looking for truth in the cracks. The world is dull and vibrant. everything and nothing. Nothing can stop this ache. Nothing can stop it. I've tried to quiet it down, push it down, lock it away, but it always gets free bounding me and setting me loose in the wildness of my mind. Piece by piece until I'm eaten by the universe. So, love me for now and keep me on a long lead. Be peaceful, be patient, for the time will come for us all.
