we who thrive on chaos,
must take the time
to make our own mercy
…addicted at birth to disaster,
scared to life & left to the wolves w/the
best intentions,
head wrapped in a swaddling of lies,
conditioned to turmoil, shot thru w/ doubt
…we must try to find that place
where even
we
are still
…to borrow the strength from peter to pay paul,
tap the trees that hold up the sky,
sit patiently while the buckets fill up
…we make our own mercy,
for no one else’s will do
…the only forgiveness for the likes of us
is that w/ which we gift ourselves
