865 miles

12 ½ hours

uncertain; a geographical antidote

 

expectations wrapped tightly in rainbow ribbon; a vision

aspirations, possibilities, convictions

 

survive, adapt, persevere

live instead of endure

a home instead of a residence

faith instead of persistent skepticism

 

preparation challenging

temperamental strife dictating

logic incongruent

strategy nonexistent

 

squares haphazardly filled

vigilantly constructed pyramid

memories smothered

breakables swaddled

prominently branded fragile

dumpster of discarded nightmares

 

apprehension

suspicion

silent inquisition

 

words vigorously stroked

black and white silhouettes

splattered paint

scattered buttons

squealing of the strings

 

anonymous in

anonymous out

 

unaware of the facets of me

expression without utterances

ink and letters

confessing the destruction

acceptance undetermined
