Therapy

In the beginning I would be silent.

Then one day, I am inconsolable. 

But in this place it is safe to recollect.

Together, we can escape events that feel like fixtures-

But are really unlikely possibilities. 

That dissipate, only to be recreated. 

Accepting that-

The truth is not so bad. 

It will take many years for the transformation to be complete-

Until it is time for another one.

I remember that awkward start. 

The beginning of years of therapy.
