I Can Help You
The Russian healer,
who once kissed me in a New York restaurant bathroom,
pulls me aside after meditation class
and tells me I am broken,
My voice and words,
Lift and fall, halt and rush,
Peppered with question marks or blank doubt,
When I debated another student that
Psychotherapy can help people as much as numerology
Apparently, I am driving down the road of life,
Without a map or GPS,
I am lost and tripping over myself,
Wandering in infinite circles,
But, HE CAN HELP ME,
By offering affirmations, meditations,
Hands-on healing where he channels Godly
Light and goodness that
can glue, sew, nail
My fractured soul, low self-esteem, inconstant faith
Back together
(for a fee of $125 per session).
Maybe he can,
I see the earnestness of his sky blue eyes
Illuminated by the street light overhead.
And, if I believe, truly surrender,
It could possibly work.
I nod and listen and question,
and then tell him I have to meet someone for dinner,
Walking away,
I ponder how my psyche can be so shattered
When I am starting to feel whole.
