I thought I’d dug deep enough
thought I’d put myself
under the microscope
dissected
disassembled
reduced myself
to traits
factors
motives
values
foibles
But they were in there
down there deep
swimming in genetic
ancestral seas
in the dark
just echoes
sonar
bouncing off
rocks
chasms
memories
I am who made me
who made them
and all the thems
before them
hand-me-down
DNA strands
ours for the keeping
regardless
of desire
I am them
as I am we
From the prompt: “Echoes gathered where light dared not go”.
Leave me a prompt and I’ll write you a little something 🙂
