Vantage. Overlooking the dream world where pain and presence collide to elucidate the road ahead. While in reflection the days of toil gone to yesteryear are used to pave the path forward. Where does change occur? How does time record our version, especially when perspectives disagree? Left to reminisce about things we thought would be guaranteed as future.

Climbed as high as the buttress allowed. Howling wind, masking the express attempt to find the right breathing. Pursuing change as salvation from the circumstance.

It worked. My short efforts to show you all of my worst qualities have somehow broken the spell of false adoration. I have rarely been the apple for anyone’s eye to capture in focus. Preferring the odd geometric fruits as pomegranate or pear, never dreaming of watermelon and leechee. I prefer to remain unknown in context and prism. Relegating myself to the least equipped for dancing, meal or praise. Finding perfect pose at the foot of understanding. Powerless by choice. Hopeful beyond the depths of the world.
