distorted (for the best)

^{self-portrait #5 – distorted (for the best) – 14/05/2022}

sometimes
the world I see
is round

sometimes
it isn’t
square

distorted sights
and sounds
pursue me
everywhere

inside my head
is grey

and greyer
every day

I wonder
what is real
or
what it seems

I close one eye
for a better view

then
I close that one
too

curl
into a ball

sometimes I think that
that
is all
that’s left
to do

misshapen
and grotesque

a powder
and
a lie down . . .

I believe
that might be
for the best
