Healing of Folly
Tender years, an echo of humiliationDeeply entrenched beliefs in shame
Trapped energy recreating its base
Invasion of primal privacy
Unrelenting outrages
Intrinsic sense of wrongness
Lost sense of identity
Overcoming fear of hornets
By pissing off indifferent nests
Open wide the shield, permit an entry
The womb of rejection to measure its walls
That route of cord-blood feeding supply
Lift the veil of pervasive pain
That healing might discern its placement
Troll of scorn come hither
Sup under the bridge of self-limitation
Where thoughts have fed on platters of
Illusion's derision and wrongness
Buttered with vaporous transgressions
To further pain's understandings
Beside it sits laughter, the folly of fear
Turning not away, now witness
Those tears, those binding ties
The trappings of those lies
Presence abides in the quiet
Where solitude abides
Listening in the fuller story inside
