More survival skills
I’ve developed a remarkable ability
I’m able to isolate myself, regardless of company
Seal myself up so that even Medusa cannot find me
I could not bear to see her now
She would bring me to tears, though she would try and comfort me
Gods, angels, demons alike
I am hidden from them all
And in this space I can slow myself down
Even more than usual
Slow down so that I live and breathe, one heart-beat at a time
Without the psyche and the ego
Without the Construct
Alone with what’s left of my soul
And resume my daily ritual of rebuilding it
