I felt an ache, so much pain, who can I blame, is it I to shame?

Twisting, Turning, Trotting, Tumbling, Topping, Tripping, Tossing, Tensing,

Where do I turn?  I cannot choose.  Shall I sprint to the right?  Trudge to the left?  If I spin right, I may be King; for if I teeter left, I may succeed;

Can I just be?  I cannot just be here, I am burning intense; the flames are sizzling to the bone; there is no escaping the smoke – I Twist; I Turn; I desperately yearn 

For I am to burn!

But what is it that I learn?

 I cannot move. 

I am completely standstill. 

I shall sprint to the right and be King for to be King is quite the win. 

I am completely standstill.

I cannot move.

I shall teeter left – for I may succeed!

I am completely standstill. 

Why will I not move?

I am in the midst of fire; the smoke is fuming me to tire

I am completely standstill.

I cannot move.

I cringe; I crack; I wince; I wane; I bend; I fold;

I hinge; I hiss; I flip and fold; I scurry and screech;

I clench; I grasp.

Why will I not move?

I shall go right; I shall go left; I will be King! I will succeed!

I am completely standstill.

I cannot move. 

I open; I stretch.

I vent; I steam;

I lengthen; I extend;

I cannot move.

I am completely standstill.

I wind; I curve;

I cannot move.

My feet are rooted.  They will not run. 

I cannot move. 

My toes are touching -my torso arched.

I feel this thing deep within my heart!

I bend my back -I cannot move.

I am rooted here.

I cannot move.

I am completely standstill.

If I were at right – I would reign

If I were left – no more pain!

I am completely standstill. 

I begin to waiver.

My roots won’t move.

Let them break; Cut them down; remove the hold; I must not burn;

I am to yearn; for I will burn!

I cannot move

I am completely standstill.

I feel a shift.

I will not move.

I will not break.

But I am alone.

I feel a shift.

I feel the wind.

I will not move.

I will not break.

But I am alone.

I feel the shift. 

I am standstill.

I feel the shift.

I feel it now.

I didn’t choose. I did not pick.  I did not win.

I did not lose.

I am completely standstill.

I cannot move.

I feel the shift.

From right to left -I only hinged

My roots stay strong.

I feel the shift.

I am

To be.

For if not right and if not left

Median view

I am

To be.
