Step Outside


 


There isn’t room for both of us in this body


You claim the heart and mind, leaving me


to maintain organs that reject me


I’m tired. I can’t breathe


I want to sleep


Forever


 


I don’t want to feel you any more


Stop beating, no more thinking


Not inside me


Please


 


Step outside and hold me


Stand beside me


We’ll both be


free

As usual, Sandy, you deck me with your brevity and yet your fascinating ability to conjure a myriad of concepts and thoughts with such deceptive "simplicity" in terms of form and language. Yet you also have such deftness in terms of the ways in which your ideas are uniquely applied. I could swing on the trapeze of this one all day! Very classy, very well done. TY Kate xx

this is a conversation held in the privacy of one's own mind, perhaps a dialogue between the conscious and the unconscious, the dark and the light, the good, and that bad. modern conceptions of sanity pale in the reflection of what is truly real, and what is not. a thoughtful and provocative write, poet.
