Somewhere in the Chaos

Amidst my impurities,
my frailties,
my slowness as feelings

sink in, somewhere
beneath my list of flaws
so familiar and well elucidated,

somewhere deep,
in plain sight, but lost
in the flotsom left

by your whirlwind,
somewhere there is someone
amazing,

powerful, intimate, true,
but lost
in the wreckage.
