Life is like a Camera...
by clickodak

Comment:
obsessively gathering the world into itself
a tool for others to use
a funnel of wide, brilliant experience into a tiny box
breaks when dropped

2 years my little field
by tnun

Comment:
3 years a meadow
4 years saplings
5 years groundhogs
6 years thicket
7 years I'm in Ohio holding my mother's hand
8 years my heart opens or it breaks
9 years a kid loses his ball in there

What is holding you back
by MargaretNet

Comment:
Rib cage, skull cap,
funny bone, silly hat,
Daddy's smug dismissal,
sarcastic wolf whistle,
walls and ceilings,
thoughts and feelings.

Freedom

Comment:
I practiced for hours,
studied the techniques of others,
imitated movements and postures.
This was not the freedom to pursue happiness,
this was the happiness of pursuing freedom.

unless you come to understand the blindness inside of you
that makes all darkness irrelevant

Life is a Roller Coaster
by DCrest01

Comment:
You're strapped into a narrow vehicle of flesh.
Any divergence from a predefined course is met with terrible consequences.
When you figure out how to enjoy it, it's over.

Yes of course it hurts when buds burst.

I tried to explain my garden to my cardiologist.
I wanted to walk him through the affinity of species
on hand-placed stones. I cried about caterpillars.
The seasons meant more to me than a mortality clock.
Entire existences pulsed out and back. I guided life,
mostly watching and weeding, occasional touches.
I wanted him to know what my heart was doing.
