NUMBERS

NUMBERS Numbers are so complicated to me. I have to know them only because it is expected of everyone. I dare not say out loud what goes on in my head for I may be categorised.

The Undulating Field

The Undulating Fi(My response)A dull, dreary, and monotonous life, I never liked.The one I wished for was like an undulating field—challengingbut victorious.Always staying up but never looking down on anything, humanor animal.I had dreams, and their fulfilment was paramount to my being.What I had not bargained for was the world and its many faces.I hadContinueContinue reading “The Undulating Field”
