Occupy Self
image by loggawiggler
My own Unruly
demands that I be true.
She doesn’t want
story embellishments.
The actual experience,
she reminds me fiercely,
is strongest.
She does require,
this self at my center,
that I fully inhabit my desires.
Not those surface ones,
socially induced,
but the yearnings that make me
who I am.
Only by dwelling there
do I grow faithful,
dear Unruly,
to you, my true home.
