entanglement
This is about clearing and cutting away chaos in order to see clearly and to move forward...and then... to do it again...and again..
this stuff
clings to me like a vine
binds my time
saps my strength
my heart
my mind
renders me immobilized
how do i untangle it
clear my head
prune my soul
it's about letting go
goodbye to old crutches
to just in cases
to fear of lack
the urgent temptation
to put it all back
this has dropped me to my knees
i have to go to raw extremes
the day has come to clear the deck
to cut away chaff
chip away at the stash
and blast my way through
pluck pull
and chase down
to bag
to burn
delete
until the pruning is complete
never again to ignore
the gnawing need
to weed
