A TREMULOUS YOU


When I had nothing else

to remember, I disliked

the sea and this indecisive

color of the ground.



What happened was simple.

There wasn’t any sound

but that made by the dying

leaves flourishing on the

pavement.



It was a lovely day when

I hated life more. I looked

myself in the eye and I

couldn’t pronounce my

name.

I guess I forgot who that

scared angry little woman

was.



It was a moment of drawing

sustenance from air, I was

a tremulous you.

I was.

  1. This to me speaks of a great awakening, of finally growing past the fears you have held onto. You let them go and found new life in the air your breathed. I really enjoyed this. I like the person jumping up in the air as if breaking free. This visual truly adds to what you had so beautifully conveyed. Blessings
