Where do i go?

Switch off
shut down
blank screen
only the blinking blue
power icon tells the world i am alive.


As the turtle retreats
within its shell
i disappear
but
i have not gone within
but away
i have absented myself
gone AWOL
or perhaps missing in action.


As the armadillo rolls itself into a ball
i can appear solid,
impenetrable
but if you were to find
the slightest chink
in my armour
the rest would disintegrate too
and,
naked soul,
raw heart
would simply die
from fear.

  1. Oh Juliet, my love. Know you are held in my heart - always... this stuff isn't the reality (though it feels damn real). I think the light shines through you - and always has - beautiful. Big hugs for now. Alison
