You know, I always did see
an odd beauty in the wreckage
I could find a certain
charm in broken things:
like the devastation
left by a wildfire or
the rubble of
a collapsed building, there
is a strange aesthetic in
the brokenness of both
things and
people
***
I always wondered at the way
the life still somehow
lingers, like
nature takes over abandoned places or
grows back from the destruction, the
ashes nourish new forms of life, different
but just as miraculous, like
trees grow out of decaying bodies, or
tears cleanse the soul, and
broken people have a weird
way of still functioning regardless, like
heightened empathy and
unwanted wisdom grew
from all that ugliness, I think
maybe my fascination
was born out of
recognition
and the wonder
out of hope
that maybe something could blossom
from the ruins of me too
maybe
I could regenerate too
and maybe
all the wrong that
stunted my growth and
strangled the life out of
every
An idle mind
is fast enough
to cross a gap
between dimension
so that it has
none.
Here come to a place
where there has little to do
with solid things
like Promises.
And Time.
It is
a strange place
for being so sweetly recieved,
only in the end to be,
deceived,
What thing to take back to your
Slow world?
This place has presence
at frightening speeds.
You will look back
and
look back you will
in horror and
see how much, how fast, how far, and,
how little Time,
you Flew.
