Consciousness and Confusion
I feel the need to, perhaps, discuss
the many-chambered nautilus-
That spiral shell-of-self that lies
Twixt my ears and behind my eyes.
And where, then, should my search begin
from center out, or from outwards in?
How then am I to understand-
does the thing contract, or does it expand?

ironically (if that's what y'd call it) , I listened to part of a show on NPR about them Nautiluses.
Good to see you again, dear Le Muse.
Sweet metaphorial rite.
b'less ye, daddyo.

Thanks for the comment my friend - am planning on trying to shake the muse awake - a bit more often - but as we both well know - life can be complicated - (and often extremely rude-Lol)

Rather than starting out start in reaching mental through physical.
I loved reading each word and your imagery is perfect. You helped capture those first true moments in discovering yourself and who you want to be for the first time and the lack of direction or where you should even begin.

Thanks for the kind words - yes the journey towards self-discovery is a long one - hell, I've just turned 60 and still am not entirely sure what I want to be when I grow up - lol - a poet perhaps? Thanks again.
what a witty fun - so well done!
there is no end to wondering of how to find
how to understand my confusing self and mind
that stay far beyond just by hiding in-between
themselves and also me - but what do these things mean?
we can't escape that blurry snare
no matter how we try to think
we're bound to the very sense we bear
this thought is quicksand and we sink
as long as we try to resolve this link
