“I want to unfold.
I don’t want to stay folded anywhere,
because where I am folded, there I am a lie.
and I want my grasp of things to be
true before you. I want to describe myself
like a painting that I looked at
closely for a long time,
like a saying that I finally understood,
like the pitcher I use every day,
like the face of my mother,
like a ship
that carried me
through the wildest storm of all.”
-Rainer Maria Rilke
Unfolded
By Carmen H Gray
I came undone
In the undone world
Fragments and pieces
Misplaced, I thought
Until I walked on
And gazed again
At myself unfolded
One response to “Unfolded”
very beautiful.
