impotence

The sodden feeling

Twisted and turned 

In my gut

Waiting ~

For the Big Terror

Running amok in my mind

Shrieking that crumbling was my fate.

Nothing.

Only calm.

No monsters in corners ~

only the left over froth

of impotent worries.

“What can you do when everyone around you is strong and clever?”

~ Tarjei Vesaas, The Birds
