a ricochet perhaps.
or NOT part 2
i know, i know
part 2 had been promised
i’d planned to wax poetic
with another 500 words or so
musing on my life of entering
and re-entering different
locations around the globe
but physically and mentally
my body had other ideas
and i’m still sifting through the
outlandish, frustrating, debilitating
symptoms and thoughts that’ve visited me
my muted and cloudy psyche oddly
lacking any emotional resonance
i seem to have lost my usual rhythm
(hopefully only a temporary pause)
my once-endless momentum has stalled
and i’ve been trying in vain for
months to reignite it once more
so this week, instead, a cluster of
photographs that depict my wavy floaty
sleepless-and-surreal past few days
i am reminded again, as always, that
there truly is beauty everywhere
though sometimes it can feel
just out of one’s reach
