TO A CALMER PLACE
I often wonder how I got here
where fierce winds batter
my life, memories mounding
like sands duning, burying
my bare feet, duning,
burying my ankles, my shins …
imprisoning me
trapping me
immobilized
paralyzed
I must break free …
first wiggle my toes,
flexing my muscles
to fracture those dunes,
those mounds, the sands
slowly cascading, falling away
until I am free –
walk away,
leave those memories,
escape the winds –
journey to a calmer place ….
