A Few Tornadoes
A Few Tornadoes
It seems
only a matter
of some discussion
before the wires
are crossed,
and,
at
that
point,
beyond which
memory
can hold its head up,
resilient winds
can bare
withstand the charms
of those
wobegone days
in a few tornadoes.
Our losses then
make all the more
this rarer field,
these fireflies
and
daily shield.

Author's Note
Attachment theory prescribes to the idea that those flatlike characters around us may in fact be more like patients under anesthesia who slowly wake up after a decades long coma and can become consciously aware that some devoted fool has waited an entire lifetime to hear they even fucking mattered, only to find out, there is no voluntary humility. Doubling down on being humble brings the ego out. We must lose bigtime in life, in order to win at love.
