MOMENTUM, 2021, acrylic ink on paper, 9 x 12
MOMENTUM
Rocking
back and forth
between
balance and
unbalance
It is a choice:
unbalanced,
you will fall forward
face first, onto the concrete
into an expanse so new
the eye can’t decipher what it sees
or backward
forever retracing your steps
until you reach
the grave of your birth
