The Limp Is a Reminder

—

We are in a spring desert

limping –

looking for bright flowers.

We are on a steep rocky slope

limping –

looking for soft beach sand to lay on.

Ahead

we thought

we heard

our favorite music

we thought we saw who loves us

we thought we felt the touch that heals

and the smells of our favorite fragrances.

The limp is a reminder

~ of the false belief ~

that heroism means to keep on moving,

“Keep On Keeping On”

when this heroism is the heroism

that hurts us, and keeps on hurting us

keeps on keeping on

hurting us

keeps on

hurting

us …
