| Fearing - 5/24 /05 2005 Archive - 2006 Archive Control’s illusion is exposed by flashbulb of reality chaos unpacks for an indeterminate stay pain, suffering, grief yo-yo the clock’s face indigestion settles into body, mind, spirit. Trust is the recliner first rendered unsuitable peace the rug rolled up and discarded accessories of joy and contentment junked hope as decorating scheme is scratched. Soon, house of grace is unfit dwelling security’s need overpowers faith’s open windows living warmth of wood is replaced by immovable, icy tower of steel. Self’s betrayal reflects in all directions absorbing rather than giving off light darkness spirals ever-inward immobility preferred over stumping, stumbling. Into the night the peacock cries eerie facsimile of innocent child restlessly scratching on the roof dying and yet living to come in. Forgiveness approaches as entrepreneur knocking with morning’s first rays holding tiny sample of unyielding love yet refusing to pick the lock. Mercy begins with a turned doorknob one wall and one piece at a time restoration is painful reversal toward grace fear, the stubborn, final exorcism. © 2005 Todd Jenkins |
