lost

big brown boot
steps hard
crunching soft flesh
and bone to dust
without feeling a thing
it’s how they roll
in the mirror
I look for me
but I don’t recognize
those eyes
or those beside me
tornado spins around
faster faster
taking me into
dark funnel cloud
of toxic anger
foundation of lies
I squint and shade my face
no light finds me
this was not the new chapter
I wrote in my heart
that started
with love
…honor
…and cherish…
