Change of Direction
Sean Bracken
She swooped down the mountain
using strange people to change her direction
soaring and sliding in space and time
using strange people as a random deflection
Leaping over ditches and crossing rough waters
she's using strange people but paying no attention
to friends long forgotten and left in the wake
of a life full of madness and driving compulsion .
Mother to strangers who get in the way
of her once great delusion now slipping away
No focus, no reason and never content
Craving and yearning, her mind in torment
Slipping and falling into the abyss
of a soul with no reason, no hope of salvation
using good people to slow the descent into safe isolation
she holds onto good people for cold consolation
Spinning and skipping with utter abandon
she's using a friend to find her solution
A friend she found hiding deep down in a bottle
has smothered the need for love and attention
Alone by herself with all that she wants
no need for strange people or change of direction
Life in the bottle kills much more than thirst
it kills all the feelings that cause so much hurt
