When fire burns low
veil darkness in view
close your eyes close your eyes
see the silver inside
then rise from the gutter
begin anew.

Thousands now
years behind
learned adjunct fools
speed forward
stumble back
we fall we fall we fail
quick—
reflect redirect
or flounder.
Consider:
twenty-seven
cold
confinement
contempt
cruelty
my weak
my broken
Consider:
redirect
endurance
fortitude
Love.
