In Retro
I traveled back in flashes. . .
A rapid retrogression of life’s events,
backwards through this blare
into the depths of time. . .
arriving at that faraway and mystical
sphere of an untainted pre-existence,
the place I’d once believed all hearts
would yearn to be could they but see.
But seeing it again with educated eyes
that held my newer and terrestrial recollections,
I understood at last. . .
integrity is not an innocence,
progression is eternal,
and never can the past be resurrected.
