Fine Golden Chains|
It appears I’m honing
A new skill – apprentice jeweler
I carefully try to untangle
The knots in the finest chain of recent events now known to me as my life
It appears the more I pull
And carefully try to untangle the delicate chain dangling my future; the more embedded the knots become
Sitting in starbucks drinking a cup of joe (a once commonplace occurrence for me that’s now a rare occasion)
I stare at the registered letter I just picked up from the post office; already 14 days late the deadline says I have two days to act before it’s too late
still can’t believe my fate; I sip the hot coffee and try to comprehend & contemplate the bleak news just received as a twisting tangling of tighter knots around my neck
As more tight knots are being added; I feel the necklace’s grip getting tighter around my neck shifting shape to a noose
looking for a new way out; I rip the necklace off my neck; choke down the little scream trying to work it’s way out of my mouth; and try to repair this new mess to the best of my ability the way that jewelers and masters of the trade do
