IMAGE OF EARTH AND QUILL

Guest Poet Christina M. Flinchum


PERPLEXED

In this abyss
I stand amiss

Neither perfect or imperfect
In a state of void

Each day seems empty
blending into the next

Not sure why I feel so vexed

Delusions while asleep and awake

Extraordinary dreams but don't
remember what they consist of

Feelings are strange
and contorted
twisted and distorted.

Why am I so full of sorrow?

Could it be I'm unsure about tomorrow . . .

September 1997
