i watched something that stayed with me, right or wrong, for a while


Circumcision of Thought


"Your emotions affect every cell in your body. Mind and body, mental and physical, are intertwined"- Thomas Tutko

My mind's eye can see
Those scenes so delicate,
So raw with passion
As my limbs unfold to fill the couch
And my face is turned at the television, blind

For the figures now filled with life
Are not those which fill my thoughts.
Four times in two days
I rewound, rewatched
Soaking up every connection
Observing how the tragedy unfolded, grew

Beautiful mistake,
the resolution of conflict
And in attempts to free my mind
Of obsession with the controversial
I erased, with scenes unaccented
Though the infamous lingers on
and the sentiments still bounce in my heart
