Perfectly Clear

my sweet nonsense
inexplicable
sideways crashed glances
can't help
the fire behind these eyes
I miss you
      most severe

but I am happy where I am
scared to blow breezily
back into a life
half wandered

    so long
broken where the road forked
and we went our separate ways
stifled by the haze of losing
consciousness

    days
dwindled on
with growth experimental
I've learned where
I belong in the wild
far off
from relative revelations
theories swollen
with disbanded hypocrisy

sunken
ships line
the insides
treasure lies beneath that
silver lining
a heart of gold


keep on searching

I'll be turning--
more perfectly
understood by
the imperfect me

Besides myself

    standing in sunsets
solidarity I'm made of
spider webs
   
    I'm strong
