uncertain feedback loops

 

i.

 

sometimes it seems

all i need to love someone

is the thought

that they might

love me.

 

otherwise

i might not feel

a thing.

 

ii.

 

imagination reverberates

off reality – a given

function, of reality,

how things could be

 

when those images

become so vivid, grounded,

where distinction is blurred

 

reality is dangerous

questioned and disbelieved

 

until nothing is left.
