Inward, Unbound
After “Diving into the Wreck”By Adrienne Rich
By R. Cary
Into my sense of self
My body undoing
A centralized point
A new perception living
Deep within;
Outwardly I am convinced
Discovery has arrived
The further I see
The further I go;
Away from myself, away
Is my body’s undoing
Inward and towards I must
Retract with gravity
Towards, in away I only deny;
Pulling with my might
My two hands grip tightly
My two hands pulling the rope
The world coming back to me;
My sense of self filling
My body begging to understand
Within is where truth will arrive
Within is where knowledge is found
As I search externalities away;
To my centralized point once distant
Now enclosed my body’s boundaries
Lesser I see, the further I go
A new discovery arrived;
Inward lives my perceptions
The rope now well-woven
Entangling my new vision
My body raveling
My body no longer undoing
End
Inward, Unbound
