Mystery Walk
walking alone
pondering the map of my life
a hard edged night
air biting bitter
ceiling unlimited
with startling suddeness
nano-sparkles burst forth
out of the utter black
AVALANCHE!
chuncky blocks of memory
crashing
like boulders tumbling down a mountain
discrete packets
of doom and glory
failure and hope
pleasure and pain
storied in their original formats
relived in strikingly clear detail
mortified
I can't look away
there is no other place
it's over in seconds
obviously not fatal
though, why not?
I don't know
the cast of charcters and episodes
were me
all me
that they tumbled into awakened mind
the way they did is the mystery!
what other freakiness
is out there
just waiting for a walk
alone in the dark
on another unsuspecting night
