for A.J.B.

today, like so many days in my life,
i was my own best enemy.
battling with the weight of my heart,
carrying cloudstorms on my shoulders.

a scowl for this beautiful world.

oblivious to my plight,
nature was boastful and proud,
as she should be most days.

she showed off her big pouty rainclouds
and hip-swaying palm trees,
and finished with a flurry of dazzling pink sunrays
winking on the indian ocean.

i remained distant, unmoved, somewhere else.

to keep pulling this thread
will surely leave one of us undone,
the other with something unraveled,
exposed.

i cannot live here or there,
then or now,
in this life,
or that one.
