holding pattern
when life's savage fists began raining blows so hard i couldn't breathe i unzipped my spine and inserted a rod of iron to prop me up
stand strong i told myself no giving up no lying down
so i stood
strong immovable I weathered hurricanes and blizzards broiling sun and long cold nights wearing blinders iron rod intact
i kept on not moving not changing not feeling head high back straight focused nothing touched me
i don't know how long i lived - or rather existed - in that invisible coffin then the earth inexplicably shifted and i awoke as from a long and dreamless sleep
i could feel my heart beating feelings reconstituted from resurrected memories music flooded my brain and suddenly i wanted to dance
i could not dance i could not lift a foot off the ground
looking down i saw that every hurt every sorrow every ugly thing i wanted to forget had taken root grown up around me coiling impossibly thick implacable while i slept standing in that cold and narrow box i called strength
and now like the tin man trapped in the middle of nowhere i must hope that someone will happen by and free me
i thought my prison strength but now awake again i recognize it for what it was
