I never feel myself on the group chat

Every face is 

like a window

(a mirror). 

Every face seems my own

for a moment

(if it speaks clearly,

if I listen carefully).

I am among them

and experience them all

at the same time.

Yet, when I look closely

at my own visage

it seems false

and distant.

I extend myself to those others 

in close sympathy;

myself, I experience at a

Beyond the Pleasure Principle

I never got Beyond 

the Pleasure Principle;

Daybreak

 

Daybreak

 

Hopes sown out of season cling

Like bulbs in frozen ground

To aspirations of Spring

 

Yet Summer’s decadence cannot abate

Autumnal declines and long winters bound

To negate

 

Just as the Sun with Sisyphus’ might

Presses up and across the horizon

Before sliding into night

 

That which remains must evolve

Change displaces but also enlivens

Those who spring with new resolve
