Either/Or/Nothing
Either I have said something
or
I have not
in either case
no matter now, for what
was once is not and
what was hope could
never truly be.
In this limbo there could be
but two souls, two parallels,
no collision without
divergence.
And so I am suspended.
Reality. Fantasy.
What difference is there?
Both are necessarily false.
Those two foundations:
Honesty. Vulnerability.
Both forfeit for
a fear of loss.
A heart set free must be
in shackles
lest the freedom offer no support.
Reparations call
for fractures resolved only
when they’re
unresolved
