Day 9 - anna kiss

the battle between
what is needed and what is done
rages constantly on
becomes questions of self-worth
and cycles accordingly
with guilt, obstinance
and the larger issue of what is
necessary and appropriate

all the while,
time drains,
energy stagnates,
hunger grows,
as does the depth and breadth
of the tasks at hand

the ongoing paralysis
lifts but with
a push
appeared of nowhere
of nothing
if only identifying the source
of inertia necessary
were probable
peace could ensue
where argument lingers
dark and light
could exist without their inherent opposition
tides would turn
walls crumble
and born of this,
the miraculous lifting of fingers...
