Poem 313 – It

It

When It arrives
It’s too late for me to stop It
It penetrates my organs
(It adores my skin wreaks havoc on my heart continuously hunts for my soul)
Its power crushes mine

Describing It is complicated
Except to say: infiltration of nothingness

(I lose my pack become a woman who runs, weeping and weak, away from the wolves)

Except to say: numb like the ‘b’ in the word Itself
There but silent – completely unaware of Its purpose

Except to say: planet-like, living in the solar system of my being
My light, Its star never bright enough
