the world is doing shadow work

there is a reliable
repression 
required 
in the realm
of unshared 
reality

recently 
a response 
was requested: 

can you live
your whole life through
without your grief
catching up with you?

it depends,
I pontificated
purposefully 
peacefully
and 
peacefully 
purposefully

is your reality 
the only one 
you relate to?

its hard to know 
whats left to write
on a blank expression

but
the best part 
of bewildered befuddlement 
is what’s on the other side
of bravery
or rather — 
what isn’t

fear!

so please
take me off the prayer list
I have reconciled 
my recommitment 
to spreading the good news

ready::





rest





in the 





rewarded resilience





of





relative 





reality
