I’ve chosen a road for us
To go and now we are
Headed on out
Because this is the way I
Have said we should go.
What do I know?
I am some tiny god in this
Escher kingdom and I hate all
This exacting power. I don’t want the
Ability to kiss and
Make better–
No. I am greedy and small. Take
Me blind and better
Up the trail and leave
Me there to blaze new
Miseries alone.
Why should I have
Authority or dominion
Over any when I am so far away
And flawed? No. Take me to the
Boundary waters and drop me
There to flounder in the
Wild eddies
Without any plan, or thought
For navigating.
Oh my goodness, it’s as if you are in my heart. Wow. Thank you for writing what I feel, it helps to know there are words out there.
Oh, I love this. I know this feeling.
