The Oz Syndrome
Healing can begin as a trickle...
a slow and steady stream
until an ocean, that sweeps
a tortured nation's shores
clean and tidy, free of debris....
It is like that with a word
well placed and timed – a
person outside himself
long enough to distance
himself from his own
hypnotic reflection and needs –
better to become a positive
drop than a negative torrent; with
knowledge that, the loudest,
deafening roar, is often from
the smallest
voice
and
