the girl learns a lesson

in between two worlds, the written word years of spoken language embedded through a culture the wind blows and the girl remains, the wind blows and something stays the same the wind blows and the girl forgets her name what is the same? where do you turn when there's no where to go how do you know your left from your right? a brush with a snake whisks her into a falling mind tunneling down deeper faster darker stronger turn on the light, breathe, remember who you are the girl missteps take you down a windy brick road covered in barbed wire and broken glass feelings of helplessness after the fact never look back move forward, let it go let it be your northern lights guiding you forever down similar paths you're protected. you are loved.
