timeline

floating far away escaping

the safety of gravity

 

no lines drawn upon

my landscape I'm forsaking

the frames of division

 

yet time has already

pricked its scribbles its

tattoos into my skin

 

the imprint stamped

within is the anchor

 

the tie that keeps me tethered

like an aimless wanderer ejected

to this lonesome place

Thanks to everyone for reading and commenting--you're very kind. I wrote this while far away from home, contemplating how it would feel to disappear. I must admit to feeling a certain attraction, but becoming a living ghost must be unbearable at times.

Hi Rachel,

Thoughtful connected imagery: no lines/frames of division. Imprint/ anchor/tethered. Escaping/Aimless/ejected. Scribbles/tattoos, etc.

The fate of such timelines..

An excellent poem Rachel with a great rhythm and pace to it.
I look forward to more in the same vein.
Nice one

One of several I'll be posting. I hadn't previously considered making them public but then, sometimes you just feel like making a backup.
