*the surfacing of divergent responses (not voices), although dissociated, are always present, sometimes sensed simultaneously when a triggering event occurs
*i attempted to capture ‘that’ reality, after my abandonment trigger was unexpectedly fired upon, on purpose
*the seeds of trauma, those residing within me, can be understood in each surfacing, in no specific order, making me ‘that’ - colourful and beautifully painted, like nesting dolls, which are better known, in Russia, as the Matryoshka Dolls (or at least my interpretation of them)
*perhaps difficult to comprehend at first, as the poem seems to ship-shape itself upon the reading of it, and requires a re-reading shortly thereafter
*this is what C-PTSD did to me (mental health advocacy)
That By Us by j-a c (2023)
my sentences interjected with a jailed
SLAM!
a did not see that coming
DROP!
no carpet-red but asphalt no curtain-called parts
but
the twenty-two caught are never-have-the-time tired
no broken-legged luck
but
all strung up
no words
the unheard
we when the nobody else spoke truth knew
because they didn't
can’t even say
HELP!
as I am
sucked-suddenly into a
dark deflating humming what?
a loss of breath
into a suddenly skinned-sliced
is that it?
no purpose but?
into barely-a-bone cauldron
a witch-like serving that run-on sentence misspelled
to a staccato-sounding
STOP!
an arts-martial monosyllabic
H’YA!!!
all sound until deaf
SHOCKED!
Rapid-stop blackness
Rapid-stop black. Rapid-stop bla. Rapid-stop ba. Rapid-stop b. Rapid-stop. Rapid-sta. Rap-sss. Rap-ah. Rap-a Rap Ra
CLEAR!
no end no end in no end in dark no end in darkness
AND CUT!
as the flippity-flippity of film reel
a once upon a time but un-realed
done and undone
with a we are THAT!
cartwheels pom-pom split-seeing STARS!
shooting & shedding
the
That Bias

corrugated roof being un-trod floor, the moment it dawns, the you right before then may seem so damn young.

Lost for words, mind reader it seems you are, relational, real, raw. Thankfully it seems we are not alone in these feelings or the expressing of them.

This took me into a heart that has suffered much but come through it brilliantly with a flair for genius in linguistic poetry that shines here and builds into a crescendo of beautifully wrought words whose melody while edged shaped into a golden arc of deep wonder.

SonMike, I am very blessed to have been invited to join many years ago. It has been, in part, my saving grace. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
