Open Doors: Praying for Directions
June 1st, 2007
Wondering if I am disjointing my hinges
Opening my thorax,
Unplugging the red and blue wires
To reunite with the self I want to know
….Or taking flight in the hard shell of my mind
I want to disembody my soul
Pack it tight and throw it up high
Say, “Hey, big guy in the sky!
CATCH!!”
There is no tether to my jump
It’s just you and me, me and the door,
You and the key, waiting for the cards to deal
I smile; You made me this way,
I was born backwards,
Moving sideways
Day dreaming with closed eyes
Nurse slapped me twice
Even then, I hated crying
You knew what I would say,
“Leave or stay but don’t hesitate,
Give me what I need,
Ignore what I want and not meant to be.”
