I closed my eyes
and found myself
swimming back
deep in long ago
phantom filled soup
some of which I found
familiar,
some of which I dream
i stayed with each frozen frame
(just stayed)
Let myself shift deeper
(and just stay)
and I felt through it
saw through it
it was just a feeling!
I may have let something go
May have heard a click
somewhere far away
wha we lived was grave
this I say as a fact:
trauma is trauma
with no room
to hide,
and it would seem that
it needs to be loosened
bit by bit
rather than pulled
