I called it a dismantling
and there’s an angel up there
  who knows the art
  of a good drama and
she calls it a deconstruction
  of character
(or she would if she didn’t
care). You call it a
collapse and it is perfect
like beliefs are such fragile
matchsticks and flames are
hungry for space, licking
their lips as identities disappear
  specifically yours
and it’s not a safe place to be
when you want control
or even a sense of it
I hope you fall gracefully
because big trees can be very stubborn
  under new winds

    Thank you so much for sharing this. I think it’s a good sign if my story moves you to write yourself!

    Spoiler alert: I don’t fall gracefully. I fall most ungracefully. And yet, grace catches me anyway.
