Who am I
behind everything
that hides me?
Who will I be,
how will I find myself,
when all is stripped away -
even my faith,
and the words
emblazoned
When I'm laid bare
what will be
found left
of me
to say
I was here -
a survival
in existence
?
All of this,
all of this,
could disappear,
dissolve -
it could all
disintegrate,
tatter,
fray
Haunting and beautiful. The third stanza in particular (with the photo of the bare-branches above it) took my breath away.
