Incarnations of You
by Carmen H Gray
The other night
I sat beside you
Laboring away on mundane paperwork
We seemed to be in a loop of absurdity
Waiting for Godot
Were you Vladimir or were you Estragon?
In the perpetual spiral of suffering
We are constantly climbing out of
You made me laugh
In our exhausted states
The secret you already know
Is to make the Great Escape
Of choosing not to wait
Bursting forth you go
Supernova from the start
Your little soul chose
“I am here and it is now!”
As I behold your unfolding
There is magic in the air
Luminous almond eyes I see into
All of the incarnations of you
