They're quiet moments
when she can find peace
when the roar of the
world
gets shut out and
the rattling hamster wheel
slows to a stop
where she can be who
she is
no one to blame her
for anything
her fault or not t
he quiet almost unnatural silence
that is surreal
the noise is always the reality
the silence like
the foreshadowing of what
will be eventually
it is a silence
too fleeting to give much comfort
slipping away
intruded upon constantly
so she must fight to keep it
for as long as she can
she is on the far side of a shutdown dam
she knows cannot
contain the flood for long
and so she lives it
breathing it
cherishing it
knowing that at any
moment
the damn will burst
and she will be cast away
in flood waters
the roar of which
she can hear already
despite her best efforts
not to
