of scylla and charybdis
once again we are positioned
between scylla and charybdis
the chasm that separates us
mythically disproportionate
to your truth or mine
a convolutely hinged catch 22
once again two worlds colliding
yours a rock and mine a hard place
yours somber fore lorn forced inflection
emitted from the belly of the conch,
mine acidic bloody brawling bursts
imbued with absolutions slow demise
only once could we come together
hearts gatekeeper put in chains
bite not from past, that poison apple
at long last find common ground
foundation built of rock on hard place
just this once,, oh mother, mine…..
