Rebirth – Poem (2010)
Years since I’ve felt a thing
but the numb of pretending.
As though you took your hands around my shoulders
around my heart
and shook me back to life
Dead to myself
I am resurrected.
Paddling to shore from waters too deep
Reconstructed
wrung out
from the shades of my prior destruction.
