Tell me
That my heart isn’t breaking
That it should not be
In patchwork pieces
Strewn all about
With me like Gilgamesh
In a corner bleeding
Knowing not how the whole damn puzzle can be re-assembled
Or even if It is meant to be?
Tell me that there is surely something wrong with me
For feeling this great sorrow
And the anguish of witnessing all that unfolded
When the scared and wounded
Used power to engage in a feeble attempt to
Block the uprising of evolution
Come in the form of an explosion
To blow us all apart
Tell me that this kind of anguish and confusion
Can be contained within the narrrow perimeters
With which you try to constrain
Experience
While being paid to observe the suffering
From way on high
Behind an opaque screen of detachment
Tell me
We must honour the frame
Whatever the fuck that means
When love = transformation is actually an energy
That knows nothing of boundaries
And cannot ever be contained in this barren wasteland of reason
Which knows nothing of the season or
Deep landscapes of soul
Tell me that
You will see me next week
In the same time
At the same space
As we struggle to fit
What ever fraction of the mystery into your schedule
And I will tell you
Fuck Off
This illusion is over
And done with
Tough therapy session? You know what I love about us poets and artists? We feel everything. Hugs for your grief pain anger heartbreak as it scatters into a billion pieces across the cosmos.

Oh E, bless you so much for that. My therapist won let me call outside sessions and on the weekend I was in such a tough space and really really needed her, and I am very angry about it. That is where this comes from. Some therapists do this but I was told by a very good therapist years ago its not good for people with high level abandonment to have a therapist like this. I am working through it, so your comment means the world to me. Thank you, sweetheart ❤

I really appreciate this feedback because after posting it I thought it would make people run as it was ‘too negative’ but it is truly how I was feeling about my therapist yesterday, so thanks so much for hearing me and for such a kind comment. ❤
