Returning to Life On March 8, 2013

What to do
returning to life
after triage and repair,
no bullet to the head
or wreck on the highway
but a death for the soul,
with images of self
dissolving like water,
reaching for your hand
before I know to form words,
the incisions slow healing
and then the day softly opens
like an eyrie above
the spreading land,
safe against the rock
of all that’s gone before,
looking into the distance
with infant gaze,
old wisdom in the eyes,
the illusion upset,
heart open, determined
not to be undone.
