restraint
I live with-
out for the du-
ration.
why must I
revisit the place
of failure,
at night when
I can barely
distinguish faces
that no longer
know me. I consider
whether to explain
who I am
versus who I used
to be.
is it worth
it? I cannot e-
lapse like time.
disappointment of not being
known equals
disappointment of letting people
down. I release myself
from past tense.
I don't believe in
forgiveness for
a moment. foregiveness
unequal to a moment
does not last.
I have outlasted
my behavior that does not
typify my lifeline.
my life since
my mistakes shoulders
the deficiency I carry
through pale fields
of new growth
I can barely see.
I barely see my breath
each morning.
each morning
I barely breathe
the answers
to my questions.
I have stopped asking
questions. I try to coast
I try to re-
invent, I try to
live wthin
my means, meaning
uninterrupted notice
of the seen.
