Jane Doe

Preferably Unknown

By Kelli Sheckler-AmsdenPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

I prefer to be unknown these days, especially to myself

hidden inside -methods designed

to protect, and heal and help

*

Feelings that spark new sensations,

light shimmers - occupy my brain

All these realities, hiding here in my head

make me feel like I’m going insane

*

A weave of spectacular motions

like tree branches entwined with the wind

Touching the ocean where it meets the sand

becoming solo once again

*

Fallen angels hiding in human form

Angel hunters roam, out on the prowl

With no one to interpret my dreams or my fears

I have no means to free myself now

surreal poetry
