 Enough of introspection

“Enough” I say to the

self-serving introspection, the self-delusion, the assumption

I should refrain from 

Self delusion or hitting back

Accept the beating down

Sleep dream wake

Fight again

"The forest must be really hard to be in at the moment" I thought, catching the  line of a plane heading for warmer and sunnier places, passengers dreaming of the delicious food, cocktails and the white, sandy beaches stretching far into the hazy horizon. Still, the sound of the beetles and, there... a small mouse flitting across, under the leaves ... the scope of their world was just the leaves, plants and trees their hazy beach, some up turned soil their cocktails, a small twinkling dewdrop on the end of a leaf
