Tie a word to a phrase
knot the phrase to a string
Already it begins, the unravelling
Emotions free to float
blow away in the wind
People who don’t write
I’m not sure how they breathe
With all of the darkness, they can never set free
Muffled and buried they throw back a drink
Eat a cheeseburger
Check their online shopping carts, load another item in
Watch the horses go around
I’m over here, unravelling string
How long?
The eternal conundrum
Mindless koan
Who cares?
For as long as life continues
So will my hands
Untying
Untangling
Turning insides out
Letting go of everything
Is what it’s all about

I guess each one of us find our own way of unravelling and untangling life’s madness.
