the virtue of the disconnect
learnt early
as a child
they say we are broken
wired wrong
enduring horror
he wakes at night
sleeps lightly
what was your childhood like?
how did you sleep?
it was not safe
we had to get up
leave in the night
gunshots
you survived your childhood
yes, I did
sleeping lightly saved you
yes, it did
you could rewire that
it takes a lot of time
to change the childhood wiring
or you could just
be ok
with sleeping lightly
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: ripple.
I took this at Lake Matinenda in Ontario, Canada in August.
What do you see on the surface?
What do you dream of in the depths?
What do you show on your surface?
What do you deflect or reflect?
