492 - Enldess paths

 

This 32nd poem did not want to come in stream of consciousness, and required repeated gardening.

I started its composition following Miriamc4's prompt on Threads : There is a path before me - from August 22, 23 and 29, first in English for the first two stanzas, then after a short break, on the 31st in a Twitch workshop at LineManoury, with a subject given by Eden. The workshop lasted an hour and resulted in a text more narrative than poetic, with few rhymes, from the line of laces to the side of a wreck, or 95 words.

My long-time readers and friends already know that I struggle with multiple cptsd's and ptsd's, and that my intellectual aspect needs to understand my story, its background and always look for news ways to better cope, incorporating new knowledge. 

My psychotherapist found that I was pushing too much with this cerebral need, and requested that I take longer breaks in reading upon these topics, to give me more time to actually LIVE and FEEL, as I had to relearn sensory perceptions, among other things. So, I compromised and spaced my research about anything psychology and trauma-related, until my wife's cousin suggested this particular book : what my bones know, by Stephanie Foo, a memoir of her battles and healing from cptsd. 

490 - Fiction bubble - the mask

For the fictional bubble of March 27, 2024, the inspiration must have come from a photo of an object posted by one of the Rainettes on discord. My chosen object being the mask posted by Dark, I first composed a poem comprising stanzas of 4, 3, 5, 3 and 2 lines. (these numbers are true in the Open Office file ; Rainettes is how we are called in that community).
