spray the bathroom mirror clean to face myself again. I am a pendulum: always moving between something stronger than my frame and will. I don’t how to stop though if I did I doubt I would. the forces are much greater. they command my ears and sacrifice. I make note of their decrees like a shopping list for later.
my dreaming threatens a returning disobedience. whims are senseless while I sleep. sometimes the visions linger. a grip on my shoulder. prophetic proverbs or an ancient creed I still remember. I pray and do my best to rinse them all out in the shower.
