Fear of Being Here

Five fingers on the same hand
an outstretched palm
to the sun

and it's not there

fingers like trees with common roots
growing in different directions
part of the singular dysfunction
knowledge-less blame-less
care-less

then they touch

in some function

and remember

for a brief moment all singularity
is lost
in community
in continuity
whole

Wow, B,

Thought provoking excellence in verse! Well done!

The last stanza particularly powerful.

I had a fear of being here last night...the advent of severe weather season in North Texas...GAD I hate this time of year.

(((HUGS))) and love, K.
