six days

starting the year 

in the best and worst way entwined

watching me from a short distance

talking to myself about limits

and boundaries and edges 

while throwing up everything I had 

changing skin like a reptile 

after having a long staying in the sun

and inside my head 

hydrating, nurturing more than I thought I needed

the first six days

have been intensely lived and rested 

trying not to exceed expectations again

getting out slowly of the same path of almost always

and who will I discover to be in the course of the story I am curious to know

this is the time to realize when to talk

and when to listen

when to back off and observe 

glad that I see it now already 

yet I sense there is so much more that lies ahead

here I leave the empty space for knowledge 

and hope that I can see through along the ways
