Leaf

I am
 fluctuating
  between two extremes

one extremely sticky spongy
 with its childish desire to be seen
  to be heard
   to be loved
    to drain

one extremely dry and separated
 with its sublime illusion
  distancing itself from everyone
   distancing itself from the “other”
    distancing itself from the “self”

deconstruct
reconsolidate
