this was not what I expected
not that I knew what was
around the corner
that presented itself with sharp angles
because there are no soft curves
here
no easy exits
or ways to leave out the back door
this is it
this is looking
into a cold light
into reality
into your own heart
when the defenses come down
into the unexpected
around corners
where every angle is an exit
or an obstruction
