Reckonings

during gestation
I did not see real effort
towards a future

your degradation
was misattuned to your part
of the dynamic

you lost sight of me
caught up in your projections
repair evaded

by not seeing me
you could objectify me
and thus cut me out

to lessen your grief
you tried to deconstruct me
though I doubt it worked

it's unowned shadows
not held and integrated
that wreak the havoc
