Kaleidoscope

I studied the foundations of interpersonal communication.
I am aware of the intricate processes playing on secretly.
Each partner unaware of the sensitivity and
constant eye transfixed on the scale of
check and balance that keep a pair
together or entices on to leave.

She was showering when I heard a chuckle and then my name.
She smirks, proceeds to fan it all out, proud as a peacock’s tail.
“It’s a case of the shoemaker’s kids who have no shoes.”

I respond, eerily calm in the tedious moments
preceding a squall, “I feel like I am
being blamed.”

She postures and readies her reply, “That’s it. I quit.”
The air grew thick and solidified.

I spend the remaining afternoon researching
attachment styles, Myers-Briggs, and
relationship repair.

I witnessed the heart stopping wreck that totaled this car.
I felt the impact and the sting as the shards impaled me.

I frantically gather shattered glass, struggle to
glue the pieces back; yet all that remains
visible is a fractured image
multiplying this disjointed
skyline, mirroring
over and over,
the impetus
branding
my mind.

Doors

Opening with force

closing silently
or with calamity
sometimes opening
so quietly
so slowly
one strains to notice
the change.

The universe is expanding.
at record speeds.

There are concepts that change
more quickly than
light speed.

Terrifying infiniteness.
Nothing is insignificant.
Each thing is a link in the chain
of consequence-
Mind your way.

Peek through a keyhole?
It doesn’t work that way.
All doors lead to the same path
for everybody, does it matter the way?

“The pawns and the kings return to the same box
when the game is put away.”

Lead me to flowers in the spring.
Lead me to the music that rings.
Lead me to the sweet smells
that the fruits of labor
bring.

Stop!
A moment, please…

Let me leap into your arms.
Carry me over the thresholds
of change.
Be the link, the unwavering constant
despite infinite change.
