Was working with a new therapist tonight.
They were doom scrolling (TikTok/insta) while they were by all professional and cultural standards, supposed to be deeply engaged.
I realised this, while looking into their eyes, deeply engaged

Destroyed love again.
Pushed so hard, rode the edge and caught a lip.
Bite down hard with no mouth guard and let it bleed.
Like Judas, twice betrayer today. Scared on the hill, cowering in panic, of who knows what.
But you were there

Doubt.
Heart stunted, cold meaning. Maybe a line in the story buried.
No. Fingers slur for words that matter.

Only powder feet on the mountain today.
Alone, sole survivor of comfort.
Somewhere out there you fight furiously lonesome, too.

Wish I could peel the sludge back and zap it back into motion.
Mondays, restarts. Context shifting, babies go their ways and we dive in.
Clicky clackity. It’s all so important. Just when

I see you glorious.
You’re laughing with your brothers and yours. Twenty years apart, bound by soothing whispers, more careless days than worries.
Leaps of joy into unknown because we can. Not afraid of where, because a thousand times

Full life, mind prickling at the seams. Ever ready to record, always missing the mark.
Bashful to face the lens. There it is, those eyes. Won't lose focus again.
Your blurry smile whipping sideways, I see it in my frame. Yosemite.

My beautiful now slipping away. My beaming angel in the winter light.
I finally emerge from my machine entrapment: the basement, forever looking forward to the lion in the bush instead of the abundance of love in my hands.
But now I see

How extraordinary will my effort be? How much of your beauty can I know? You leave me with twisted words and pumping veins just to express.
How can I be capable of the sliver of you that I know?
I'll never embrace the splendid whole.
