Detached

















I’ve heard it said
that when a person experiences extreme
suffering, their soul leaves their body
and like a little bird can watch

the atrocity but not succumb
to the experience because they’ve
detached to preserve that part
of themselves that will survive.

Sometimes a split occurs
more than once and the personalities
assume their own lives, separate from the host,

but attached, ready to take over
anytime the going gets tough.
