Swirling cactus

Step by step, leaving myself behind
A walk by Roman ruins

I shrugged off, threw up our conditioning
And now and then
I lose footing

I eat up abandon like arsenic
And still, still

I dust myself off,
And disappear in a cloud of resolve

The silences, the absences and the
Penances
Carry me between each step

And upright in my stance
I crawl through the debris of exaction
Following the sound of Freud's symphony

I agree with some of Boonrassi's comments.

‘I eat up abandon like arsenic
and still, still

I dust myself off,
I disappear in a cloud of resolve... Brilliant!

Upright in my stance
I crawl through the debris of exaction

An upright crawl… Love it.

Keep shinin' Shirine... xox
