settling with unsettling


something bulky in my indoors,

like an active turtle, revolts

within, refusing to my settling

in the depth inside my shell



refusals and revolts of my soul

against the menacing ‘isms’

religious and secular in texture

including a broader universalism



they are nothing but a ‘herd-ism’

camouflaged, making me move,

though, like a tortoise in slow speed

reconciling with an unsettling self
