Chains of Air

Such a crowded room my minds/'/ become,
alone, yet filled with everyone.
These chains of air, were they steel
would afford me greater hope
than my hands and feet tethered
with the silliness of rope-
I should be so unconcerned.
When tendrils of actions and mossy memories
clamber and struggle to choke out the now,
my arm can/'/t heft the machete required
to strike the heart and plough them back.
The old house on the lonely road
given over to nature/'/s indifference-
this is the state I find myself,
windows gaping glassless,
wood soft to a thousand rains
and shady creepy ivy that inch by inch
makes gains.
