THE WOVEN ACCORD

THE WOVEN ACCORDIsla knows an existential crisis of survival. The Woven Accord is a rawstatement. Isla relates thoughts hypervigilant progressing a reasonedrecovery one in which she remains trapped by residual intensities ofstress and such trauma subsumed. She knows a societal restrictionin the differentiation between mental and physical ill-health that istoo difficult. It is of a dissociation in isolation she felt more keenlybecause it took her herself so many years to accept or understandand alone. The unravelling persists for self-validation in a poeticentanglement for some of that which she endured in her own beststandards of daily living or as she lived in failure. Still not to benormalised Isla bravely grants the wrong she feels and experienced.It is to her mind and soul a madness and she fears she might notcope it is not her fault and she does not want more. This story istold in a series of short prose poems set into four parts: A Long TimeAgo Isla's World Tumbling and Unravelling.
