Inward, Unbound
After “Diving into the Wreck” By Adrienne Rich
By R. Cary
Into my sense of self
My body undoing
A centralized point
A new perception living
Deep within
Outwardly I am convinced
Discovery has arrived
The further I see
The further I go
Away from myself, away
Is my body’s undoing
Inward and towards I must
Retract with gravity
Towards, in away I only deny
Pulling with my might
My two hands grip tightly
My two hands pulling the rope
The world coming back to me
My sense of self filling
My body begging to understand
Within is where truth will arrive
Within is where knowledge is found
As I search externalities away
To my centralized point once distant
Now enclosed my body’s boundaries
Lesser I see, the further I go
A new discovery arrived
Inward lives my perceptions
The rope now well woven
Entangling my new vision
My body raveling
My body no longer undoing
End
Inward, Unbound
