the haze
My love choice
my life partner
my blind spot;
The water I drown in
The land of victimhood
I call my country.
My citizenship
The laws I follow
and the ones I break.
The incognito
Where I am
concerned;
Where am I?
Who am I?
What is this?
The map I navigate
and gives me
my coordinates;
It doesn’t correspond
to its reference;
the territory we imagine
as reality.
My myth
my symbol
my created virtuality;
Parallel universes
The vastness where
I’ve been lost
My self-doubt;
exclamation antecedes
an interrogation mark
Anything that escapes me
And is tragically inescapable
the power I wield
My unfortunate
sequence of events
life’s chance
Once in a while —
Serendipity
My leap of faith
my subconsequent fall
into the abyss of my Subconsciousness.
