Poemetry by T.A. Barnhart

2022-11-6

that’s the hard part about life:
you’re here in the moment
always & nowhere
but here in the moment
and what was
and what will be
are untouchable in the
white-hot heat
of what frustratingly
is.
i want to quiet
the clattering
in my mind
but i am stuck
here in this place
where everything
is as it should be
and nothing
hurts more
than the
reality
of
reality.
