the energy without
the spirit guides are calling me
but I am unconcerned
—distractions & distrust
embedded in my psyche
pushing me outward (violently)
instead of pulling myself
(effortlessly) inward
I am projected into the mix
multimedia having a blast
playing head games
ancestors on the outside
unable to look in
the single door locked
and boarded in
—every window just the same
october two thousand twenty-three
