Outside (other)

Outside
It’s fundamental, primal. The deep snow could be inches could be feet.
Foot sinks. Feet. Feet.
I walk along with you, but all of a sudden you’re not there. You
all stop, and you especially, but I keep going.
Until I stop
The wind catches up now. Flushing through ears. Years. The mind
catches up now/
Then the violence. Harsh. HarrrssshH.
Bright yellow/ Wavers / In the white /The open/ The distant
Harrrssshhh
Harsh.
I am distant now. Forced afar by innocent incomprehension. Am I unworthy?
To you. i feel it.
Your strict act of other hatred for some reason. Some truth. Reason. I wish I knew the truth. The truth? The truth of the violent wind, the threatening landscape and the moment I realised I did not realise what was happening. Was happening. Happening. Was happening.
You YOU and YOUR shock of silence

I walked down wind so the violence would wash over me and away
But. But somehow. But somehow it burrows deep into the canal and hooks in. Forever I hear that wind that swirl that crash
The crash. Smash. Bash.

No.
Because there you go. Almost all______________________Almost
The thing is you, (and I cry), you, your hypocrisy. You’re hypocrisy. The lie. The descent down the bullshit, bullshit. And you laugh(ed) and smile(d). ARE.
Harsh. Harsh. You’ll never see it.

and so now the light is clear, the air is crisp, the sound is pure. and so I put one step forward another it front of that. and so on. and so on.

Come walk with me? The snow is gone now. Melted away. The solid ground beneath our feet. Stable, firm, unmoving, though impermanent.
Walk.
One foot forward. Then another.
Solid.
