there are times when
the emotional landscape
is suddenly all too cluttered
as if a snow globe were shaken
by a rambunctious toddler
to answer clear questions
or give any insights
can take a few moments
sometimes days or hours
depending on the topics
& how deeply it affects me
eventually the snow settles
and unlike the globe
it seemingly scatters
insight returns
until the next rattle
[new lines added 12/24/2023]
upon further reflection
it is past-time
to shatter the globe
for it implies being trapped

3.11 slipping between & betwixt
3.12 new spaces
3.13 feeling the wonder
3.14 resetting
3.15 bringing the fire
3.16 the exhalation
3.17 loss of words
3.18 feeling the edges
3.19 the decision
3.20 the roar of silence
3.21 missing pieces: Western NC
3.22 love from the universe, from a dear friend
3.23 mirror, mirror
3.24 getting it together
3.25 how to starve the beast within
3.26 embracing the suck (as best as can)
