Perhaps momentarily
you lost your purpose
and had to lose it further
until viscerally
attached to elastic
the pull came for you
and the further away
you were walking or
you were running
from your own true
nature it tightens
and it strains
maybe you can feel it
pulling on your neck
or on your back until
SNAP
If you are lucky
this snap zips you back
to center
but what if
the thread snaps
completely and
you wander
further
away
from yourself?
Ylang ylang
Ylang ylang
you rang you rang?
No.
