I Will One Day Be Innocent Again
The trauma is slight.
But busy making my uneventful days turn into nights of remembrance.
With practice.
With patience.
I will learn to stare into the nothingness.
Without falling into it.
I will seal my blame.
That used to erupt powerfully.
I will pack up my imagination.
So I do not use it to wander.
I shall emerge one day.
As the person who never stepped through that gate.
