Death of Connections (Depressive Episode Edition)
Wandering the path again,
retracing my steps, alone this time;
I’m counting the bodies
laying just where I left them
death came quickly for these,
my dysfunction, stalking
and insatiable
one taste of their salt,
their steadfastness and
it swallowed them without chewing
sometimes I still revel
in the bitterness
retracing my steps, alone this time;
I’m counting the bodies
laying just where I left them
death came quickly for these,
my dysfunction, stalking
and insatiable
one taste of their salt,
their steadfastness and
it swallowed them without chewing
sometimes I still revel
in the bitterness

hello death this is not the end of it passover sader did you reep and leave the energies to languish in Ghenna the common grave the jews have been hunted to extinction and still you mutilate and perverse now where that it's ordered to cause more chaos they will believe in something beside slaughter I am hard headed don't count me out.

Reads like the most eloquent of novel excerpts.
Even when shadowed I love how you weave the beauty of your words together.

Dear J,
The beauty in this piece for me, is how deep and troubling our minds and thoughts can bring us. Loving friends and family to guide me through have been life preservers. Those massive swings from one end of the emotional spectrum to the other are so intense. Your amazing poem encompasses this so beautifully. H🌷

I don't know if I'm bi-polar but I certainly have have had a life-long 'relationship' with depression and despair (viz: https://deepundergroundpoetry.com/poems/500617-the-despair-chronicles-nr-01-saturday/).
The poem captures so well the pling-plong of ups-and-downs -- and the experience of this journey through life -- I really like your choice of words and phrases; spot on.

Damn, ain't that the truth. I'm not bipolar, I do have BPD though and well... yeah... yeah. I'm definitely loving how you wrote this, just exceptional.

"sometimes I still revel
in the bitterness" is an all familiar feeling.
Amazing work.
