#15

I slipped on ice, it caught me unawares
and down I tripped, I hit my head on cold
cement. The sun still shone but I lay folded
on the ground, unconscious of the stares.

The cold was perfect, I alone could not
summon such calm. My mind was fast,
too quick for truth, just good for ideas rash.
The slip could save me from a mind too hot.

Emotions crwoded in on me, both love
and loss combined. In freedom I had found
them both, my tears within my smile. I pound
my chest, I laugh my pain, I reach above.

The ice, it slowed me down, it broke me up
and then I rose above my self-destruct.
