The Etymology of You

Where shall I turn my gaze to?

Is it within today’s moment?

Which skin of thought will be capricious?

Around the corner, in my mind

A slow burn of fear

Cast waves of bent emotion

A paroxysm

Imploding

My existentialist point of view.

It seemed so ordinary

This seepage of entanglement

But it floated

Off like a silken slip

Pieces

Jagged, sharp, puncturing ~

The

Store of desire

Changing the garment with struggled stain

I’m no different ~

You proclaim.

Everyone is just everyone

Simple

No pain.

Even in the immensity of shared feelings

The towering inferno

Of shame

Dropped like a floating balloon

Was swept away

By the fullness of this new moon.

Here and now

Appearing like a light

Emerging from the fog of life

Is the

Etymology

Of

You.
