We all have one
According to Jung, and while
I grasp the concept, the particulars
Slip through my fingers, like
Grains of sand
On an empty beach. Besides,
There’s only so much time and attention
I have for this stuff anyway, and that’s
The problem.
I glimpse her occasionally, out of the
Corner of my eye. She can’t
Tolerate my direct gaze, Like
Staring at a faint star….it
Disappears before your eyes, and
Then pops up again, just
Off to the side when
You and your eyes have
Moved on.
What if I could just
Reach a hand towards her
Palm open, slowly, without
Looking? Could she
Begin to forgive me then?
And I, her?
I talk to myself often! I am forgetful so I have to keep reminding myself what I have to do or say!!
