destroying me twice
Published in
Aug 7, 2022
I am back from a thorny path
rain’s gloom welcomes my return
mud on my boots soiling my heart
gust of wind drying my soul.
spectacles and its broken glasses
I see clearly without them now
I see I am almost home, but
the flaming arrow catches up.
long shiny blade blinds my hope
suffocated heart desiring to beat
maneuvers and fear melting justice
a desired last wish, a denied last wish.
