Altered States

Static Cling

My hound has eaten the wood ends
Of the vintage designed coffee table

Because she has witnessed the others
Chewing on as ruining kitchen chairs

She has lost all reserve hollering
The others wear no bark collars

Anarchy reins supreme by family
Coming and going in own skeins

I have the honor of assisting
When arms want to overturn

Chaos, dirt, and mess by strength’s
Redetermination that I can’t access

In Time

I can not seem to get back into that room
The one where fat is a reality nourishing

Where the brain is no longer quivering
Because knows marrow is replenishing

It’s a state of mind shift where settling
Into moments relaxed and surrounding

Where no emergencies bombard-invade
Where nothing wastes by playing games

Why is it hard to hard-stop insecurities
Driving me to push against the injuries?

There is time here gathering in offering
Allowing me to final-run finish studies

Yet the concussion clamps to prevent
A determination that refuses to relent

Why is it so important that I be stopped
From the simplest-task meagerest want?

Why am I being thoroughly interfered with
Beating me down enforcing toward lament?

Just leave me alone I need not atone
There’s no self reflection to gain here

Having already done the work my soul
Knows what it burns in desire to learn

Society

Cracked Hull

As a crew member, she tried to help stop the huge military ship’s keeling, but there were flaws in its design that she could not counter, and the whole of it succumbed to the water’s drag sucking it down into the depths with several crew members still inside of it.

She’d been lucky enough to be near the surface and able to push off from the submerging bow as the ship sank slowly down backward, and as she swam to shore and pulled herself up out of the water, she saw that throngs of people had gathered as if to a Sunday picnic along the banks as they watched the ship disappearing.

She couldn’t calm the panicked distress of being unable to help save the other crew members still trapped within the ship’s confines, and as she prayed for their somehow escaping, her internal horror starkley contrasted against the ignorantly gay commentary from the onlookers around her.

Hyde's Bride, Society

Broken Lines

They hadn’t cared that their matriarch’s elegant clothes and personal belongings were going to be left behind for the angry daughter-in-law to defile and desecrate in her latent rage.

They didn’t care that the fridge’s unfinished holiday helpings if left to rot would cause damage over time in the now abandoned house and give the daughter-in-law reason to sue and place blame.

And they certainly didn’t care about the matriarch’s beloved seasonal china laid out twice yearly in sacred tradition to welcome her family.

No…

Her granddaughter-in-law saw the truth in all of it and made sure that the family helped her secure that no trace nor censure of their matriarch could be used to tarnish her memory.

They barely helped, and most reluctantly.

Oh, yes…

And then, once they realized that the china had value and they could sell it back to the angry daughter-in-law for cash value – they demanded that the granddaughter-in-law’s family turn it over to them, accusing her of interfering and “attempted stealing.”

Strength In Unity

Sharing fears and insecurities
Revealing failures’ weakness

So that it may become clear
What keeps tripping our feet

Why we keep holdimg back from
Reaching for our greater abilities

Acknowledging triumphs’ strengths
Despite inner conflicts’ resistances

Allows us to be each others’ witness
Shining light on truths by recognizing

Better who we are and desire to become
So that we may achieve heights together

Supporting when needed
Loving as we are healing
