9/8

so i am trying
trying to return
and there is movement

for the first time,
in a long time
the obstacles
that used to mass together
and swell up
into a huge overwhelming wave
now remain separate,
discrete
and become inconsequential objects
that can be swept away
with the brush of an arm
allowing me a freedom
to create the space
necessary for me
to be able to hear
my voice

part of this is due
i am sure
to starting this project
which demands that i create
more time in my day
to looking, seeing & feeling
