intense presence

“The persona…is the individual’s system of adaptation to, or the manner he assumed in dealing with, the world.” – Carl Jung

she felt an intense presence

sitting at the edge of the crest

she saw many shadows in

that glassy smooth white sky

she felt a knowledge of the real

and sensed the only imaginary

she experienced a pressure

not to perform but be in the moment

she felt moments of a person

moving behind that staged mask

adjusting, transitioning herself

to a fantasized expectation of self

she felt him moving to build and

take on what was there and then perhaps

push beyond, for,

the intense presence was only imaginary
