Weekend Words



9/19/09


Starting over
As an extension of being
has allowed me to continue to pretend.


Despite their orders
I have been secretly breathing
life into what was meant to end.


I am promised
peace after the fire
and a glorious rebirth--


It feels dishonest
to think this new ease of living
comes on its own, or comes first.


Starting over
begins at a dizzying count
resetting the measure to nothing,


But the blanked-out lack
is no comfort

in un-learning loving.
