DARK POETRY – “Churn” by Tina McFarlane

Frantic
to find myself
My steel is malleable

The wind
moves memories in my head

A chill to my bones
A sweat to my brow

Said before
but with other words

I feel
yet am numb

All encompassing
and devoid

they flail in desperation
these thoughts

My head heaves
and they spill out

Would it be so bad
To let them go?

Freedom of will
Will I wish to be free?

The illusion settles like
a dusty coating on old furniture

A reminder of clichés

A gentle hug from a forgotten friend

A peace of mind
That’s only for show
