Asunder

Forcing me apart
pieces in places
I’ve never been I
floated into trouble
left in the sun I
just keep walking west
bits of me littering deserts
tossed by storms
particles dripping rain
silver slivers surrounded by dark
small luminous plasma orbs
points of gravity
pretending to be stars
who’s going to assemble me
in the face of that infinitude
I mention so often
I didn’t plan to become
a pretentious mass noun
I am after all unique
Judith, whether I’ve fallen apart
or remain whole, at least loosely.

Well, maybe some definitions are in order. Although you should note that I would normally encourage readers to look words up in that wonder of all wonders a dictionary but my own research proved to me that very few people care if they are faced with a new or confusing word. They just skip right over it. So here are a few words from Asunder.

Asunder: (archaic) apart
Infinitude: (I’ve given you this one before but in case you missed it) the state or quality of being infinite or having no limit.
Pretentious: attempting to impress by affecting greater importance than is actually possessed.
Mass Noun: a noun denoting something that cannot be counted by a number or lacks a plural, Example: 5 loaves of bread not 5 breads. Thus, no such thing as 5 forms of Judith at least not this Judith. jas
