To identify where
it all went wrong, when
isolation became a drug
as potent as anything
ingested, when ingesting
became impossible
is
to pretend to be
some kind of god
with flame-retardant wings.

You have an amazing way with poetry. How very profound this is–we think we are bolstering ourselves; building our fortresses when we retreat–like we have some kind of God-like power to ensure we don’t get hurt again. Well put.
