Come the tears
born of shame
unwarranted
unwanted
unkind
It’s just art
a made up story
people who never existed
why can’t I stop?
I know
we can never go back
never undo
redo
or go where we might have gone
Here and now
is all we have
from which to start
again
and again
This now forward
is what we will make it
and when it hurts
again
and again
This now forward
will be how we shape it
again
and this now again
and again
will be there for us
Bring it back
to this
now
Kindness
intimacy
assurance
born of love
again
——
Blessed…
