an assault in progress…
the string around my finger reminds me I’m
guilty of
whack a mole
crimes committed in
dreams I can’t remember, a spree by my
Doppelganger dark side I hide
whack a mole
Jung said whatever I deny consciousness will
keep reappearing
whack a mole
until I
acknowledge it, which I’m willing to do I’ll even
sign a blank confession you can fill in the
details
whack a mole
but confession is a lie told
to cover up another
whack a mole
until the arm
suffers
muscle
failure

Brilliant!
Good insights! I remember that whack a mole game. Love the lines about signing a blank confession. For some reason, this was just what I needed to read this morning. Thank you!
Whack a mole is such a great way of capturing the reader with repetition.
thank you, Katerina!
that you needed to read it and I wrote it makes me happy, Sylvia
thank you Geri
Love the repetition of whack a mole – it’s disturbing on several levels – and your twist on confession. Another good one!!
