Disassociation









Simple question:
Give me the view
from 30,000 feet
your childhood home

Simple answer:
Scary and unpredictable

Slideshow begins
in my head
conversation ends
connection severed

Overwhelmed
cells exploding
I can't listen
a child again

I leave
out the window
to treetops
green crowns of safety

gone
again
it's all I have
my only protection

Will I always be
back to the wall
facing windows
looking for treetops?

Powerful and moving.

Thanks for sharing this with us.
Perhaps the act of sharing can at moments loosed the isolation.

I can say that I beleive I understand. Yet, as we know oh to well, early experiences of life as such are just that individual. Isolation by there very nature.

Namaste to you!
