Solstice

I’ve seen what looks like the summer solstice

An imprint of tropical in my head

Far too wise to wander

I will drown in solitude instead

A special word

Repetitive in my brain

Lingers…as I await the next decision…even though

The conclusion will be the same

I’ve seen what looks like the Winter solstice

Cold and bitter to taste

With a dozen half broken mirrors

Reflects an image I once used to hate

I’ve walked on those splinters

With hopes to spur some sort of feeling

A reminder that I am still alive

In good health and still breathing
