Labyrinth
Hint: I am a crossroad. It’s
not too late to learn to unwind. Leave
all that’s not kind, behind. Some
things you might find:
-Softened breath
-A longing for tea
-Ears for birdsong
-Unconscious Psalmody,
if can only
leave all that’s not kind, behind,
knowing: there is no other
crossing than this.
*From prompt: Freewrite after hearing Wislawa Szymborsk’s Advertisement. The line “It’s not too late to learn to unwind” is a quote from this poem. From Lisa Freedman’s BreatheReadWrite, September 19, 2021.
