Alex (An Ideal)

Turning Tides

What would it be like for us
To know trust without doubt

Would our limbic systems reset
No longer in a panic syndrome?

Chemicals saturating cut like heroine
Filling veins brimming in peace again

Darling – no fear nor shame needed
Where we’re bound for as we aspire

But we must help each other unlearn
What suppression has deep-enmired

Denial’s Benefits

These first two years since the accident
Have been about gaining distance away

From modes of tipping on edge of collapse
Which I would not let override endurance

Thus internal reroutings smack into walls
When continuing to push past allowances

With mainframe crashings from pressure
As keep reanimating limbs toward future

Mystery Rupture

Something unmentioned has been
A bulging vessel inner pinky finger

Several weeks ago since I noticed
Unsure how long it’s been injured

Could have happened lifting any
Edge with angled weight cutting

I’ve been ignoring it to let heal as
Occasionally acts as trigger finger

Because the pain upon touching
Was swollen and pulse-alarming

Connective tissues and associated
Don’t have tensile tenacity as prior
