Day 22: The Overwhelm



The overwhelm reflects and magnifies:
You are a giant built like a wall
Angry and primed for a
War of silences
And I am on the other end
Shrinking,
Rolling my shell darker,
Watching my broken machinery
Click and catch –
  your fault -^ my fault ,;;
              your fault -^ my fault -^ ,;;my fault ,;;
I curl too tight when the water doesn’t boil
When the page is empty
When the children cry
,;;
But here you are again
Shrinking too,
Offering to uncurl me.
