Coming and Going
Coming and Going
I met myself
Coming
And going
Like a hit
And run
Disaster.
It's hard
To know
What you're
Going through
Until,
Sometimes,
Way after.
I saw myself
In the way
She was,
A firehose
Of reeling,
A bell
That rang
Itself aloud
And carried on
Its peeling.
What really
Sent me
Over the edge
And had me
Coming
And going
Was how
She kept
That steady
Flow
Of speaking
As she's
Knowing.
Thought
And feeling
Avalanched
And buried me
Alive,
And the more
I asked her
Everything
The deeper
Then
She'd dive.

I thought I knew the limits of my expressive powers, but it seems that unlimited does have a limit.

Thanks.
I stayed up very late and felt compelled to stay up writing even later...I'm glad I did both...
And thank you.

Oh hell this resonates...
I think I've felt these words
Coming
And going
Like a hit
And run
Disaster.
More than I really want to admit.
Yes there are limits even to the limitless.

Have you ever met someone who was just like you after you've said to yourself I'd like to meet someone like me and then wondered if that is really how you are and it is and you're like....I did not see that coming because it's really very self-revealing in ways you never would have expected?
It's like that.
It's like that.
