Tripwire
Strand unseen,
stretches across the path
hidden in the dust and debris of years
set to a
hair
trigger
Potential, ready to become kinetic.
Set it and forget it.
My shuffling, opaque, gait
bumbles through the day
and
without warning
I am blown sideways by memories of improbable events.
Mystic, holy, profane
My ears ring,
but they always ring.
I search for the one that will release me.
Finally, she is there.
