Dissident

In being honest with myself
I’m a bit lost - like a poem 
That has not found its shape 

A voice it has - a destination 
Set - but a shape - lost which 
Is strange because I’ve always 

Had the same shape - give or 
Take a few pounds - enough 
To entice but not enough to 

Fear - as I enter my fifty second 
Rotation around this cloudy earth 
Perhaps I’ll find my shape 

And the fear will dissipate as fear tends to do
