edge of an epiphany

now that I think about it

it’s all I think about

crying in the rain

waiting for it to wash off

all the scars and the wind

the half healed thick skin

bones newly unpinned

this is the place to begin

just softer

more pure

pouring from the sky

getting absorbed in the world

giving what’s to stay

giving what’s to heal

my head is a jungle, jungle

the same jungle,

the same struggles,

the same rustles,

the same conflicted coexisting fear and peace,

now against a tangent,

a path unexplored,

soiled in flaws,

covered in fog,

holding tales of the wild,

unfolding answers of a child,

a nuance,

a beginning for the end
