I got to the door
slid on the floor
I’m not clear anymore;
I’m dirty to the core
I’m all wired up
-panic’s in my cup-
before the secrets clot
I should sew them shut
I can’t find my clarity…
(It just left)
I lost all reasons in a crazed whirl
and now I watch myself come unfurled
as I twirl my fingers around the doorknob
I try to shut the question up with a sob
(Where is my clarity?)
I’m frantic, I think, perpetually;
so frantic that I can’t even remember to breathe
because I found my desire, and then lit its fire
an internal arsonist, there to torch my mind into a pyre
Erratic movements signal desperation, rich
and I know there just must be some glitch
it was too easy, the way you slipped away…
…Clarity, come find me today.
(It’s gone, it’s gone, it’s gone.)
1) this doesn’t show up in the reader (which explains the lack of likes)
2) wow. I felt like when I’m in the grip of a big O-ocd attack.

Honestly, right out of the gate, I could feel it rising, but certainly by the fourth line, being dirty, that was the trip-wire that started the snowball. Intense and really very good. And the title just hit home as well. Perfect.
