You taught me how
to wrestle the restless wind
and win
How to cut the air
with my muddy dreams
and anchor them to the clouds
no matter how dense
they were
How run from my days
and the mundane maze of madness they have become
by listening to my self
nothing else
But you never remembered
how to teach me
to protect my iridescent energy
from your tentacles
So I became a raisin
festering
before my seeds
bloomed.
