I Am Unfolding

Painting by Terry Wiley


i am unfolding

i am unfolding
sorrow, an elaborate
crane.

i am
unfolding the
symmetry to study
each line, each
road to abandonment.

i
am unfolding four
corners to reveal
the choreography
of an ache.

i am tempted
to ball it up, to
rub out the
lament –

but for now, i
concentrate on
unfolding
and unfolding
and unfolding
.
