BACK FROM around the world in 8 days...glad to slide into MAGPIE TALES once again!
TURNAROUND
I will pull my feathers closer,
as if not yet born.
Enough of seeing and thinking,
hard edges and snake bites
and every sound a thud.
No tunnels of illumination
that lead me to heaven.
My tongue hovers for a moment,
hoping to impress with my lexicon.
Only breath leaves,
then takes wing to a dark nether.
No clemency,
so I choose turnaround.
Perfect primal architecture,
seal me back in,
nestle me on a cutting edge.
Over easy.

yes, i saw it as a primal place to live also!!
in the dragon's nest
much safer to crawl back int eh womb than to face what is out...
Hi zongrik-
All roads lead to the beginning...thanks!
Hi Brian..
As if that's the answer..thanks so much!
Yes, 'Enough of seeing and thinking' I know the feeling. Great write!
it reminds me of one of those days when everything just doesn't seem to go right or perhaps the feeling after an argument with a lover.. love the last line ...
You impressed with your lexicon! Lovely feel for words and a picture drawn of uncertainty.
Lyn,
They say that a man is always trying to get back to his beginning.
At least he could take off his clothes.
