Foreboding


Here I've been in my cocoon
Waiting to get well
And waft back into the world

But I've lately encountered
Disturbances
Troubling flashes of the mundane

The bloated indifference of the so-called sane
The well-fed, self-congratulatory indolence
Which sheathes a certain callousness

And makes me wonder
What my objective is
In bursting forth

When sensibilities will clash
And the heart will once again break
