Bubble Worlds

Sometimes I feel like I’m living in a bubble,

Floating through space detached.

I sometimes worry that a giant finger will reach out and

Break the surface tension that holds my flimsy world together.

Other times I feel like my bubble is made of bullet-proof glass.

All the light that makes it through to me has been bent and altered.

The trouble with bubbles is that they inevitably break, unless

They get trapped and frozen. In some cases, they can be deadly.

There are bubbles within bubbles, and twin bubbles not fully apart.

They can be fun and engaging, and some float out of sight.

The fate of those out of sight is left to our imagination.

My name is Katherine J. Krein. I lost my father in June of 2013, and then I lost my mother in November of the same year. After they both died I went through a mind-warping number obsession that has taken me years to control. This is my story. It is now 2025. I still use this site to post some poems and thoughts. My obsession has faded, however, I still notice the numbers. Faith, hope, and love is what guides me now.
