MICROPOETRY

chaos

Embracing chaos might be the path to finding peace

Rachel Hollis

chaos cut through the page
with a serrated blade of brutality
one swipe of the knife
unable to separate

bluntness undeserved

you were the river tipping infinity
black pools spilling and filling and fuelling
disdain

you were the dark when it cried
that empty void
that chaos unexplainable
our chaos inside
the miles and miles of desperation
when miles echoed affinity
and chaos grew wild
confusing our fantasies
their ever-growing tendrils
seeding reseeding expanding
insanity

for that’s what it was
