Decimation

Samuel Armen over at The Showbear Family Circus - Lancelot Schaubert's and Tara Schaubert's liberal arts circus. said ::

The bedroom door kept dancing gorgeous van Gogh swirls

while sounds around my windows sang Debussy voiles,

while anything was everything. I tell myself

I’m here to try to sleep despite this fusing force

that surges deep inside my veins. I strain to close

my eyes, and first this warping world is far too bright,

my lids like curtains overwhelmed by light. Each breath

a step against this endless blend of senses. Then:

There’s ten of them all watching me from podiums.

Now comforted to know I’m not alone, I ask

them questions, seeking confidence and clues.

All but one explain their own philosophies, providing me

a sense of truth. Until the last of this crew

says: “Don’t you know that all of us are you?”
