poetry

 'Poetry heals the wounds inflicted by reason.'

 — Novalis

Secondary character

I always thought I didn't mind

Being a secondary character

in the novel of my own life

Not much spotlight needed

I declared

but this solitude the no cats

no family, just a few old

and yet not so solid new friends

the books the life the music

but then

fortuna locks me in this country

when a chance of family encounter came

I am trapped behind the country's walls & fence

I will miss my little 1/2 sister and her baby

Friends coming later

but what's with this heart pang, anyway?
