Detaching Untangling Unplugging
Detaching
untangling
unplugging.
Attachments
unbound
released.
Memories
forgotten
forsaken.
Ambitions
transformed
abandoned.
Becoming
no one
wanting nothing.
We are not
haunted
by our memories.
We
haunt
them.
We
revisit
the past.
Searching
for
meaning.
Picking
at
scabs.
Pain
becomes
us.
Divorced
from the
present.
We are
wed to
suffering.
Life
is more
vivid
by the
ocean.
Memories
more resilient
to decay.
Perhaps
it is the
timelessness
of that
great witness.
That makes
life
less fleeting
by the sea.
Perhaps
it is the
vastness
of that
great body.
That makes
life
more expansive
and free.
