No Bad Habits HereA Poem by Maryam MottahedehNo Bad Habits Here Something so deep to the bone of my psyche Burnt away a hole There is no more blood to bleed Just the remnant ring of red around this wound No longer vague Free from the obscurity of clouded emotions Plainly in sight Like a mute black cave A black hole The lingering void of childhood’s dependency Right here under my very flesh Under the contractions and elongations of movements
What can I do to re grow bone Where the thought of bandages seems an illusion This aint the place for ointment sand potions Pure love I need to give pure love, 100% Free from tallies Uncontaminated by guilt or anger Infused with patience and understanding Those things I know Inspiration where to gather some
If that ring can grow into bone, I’ll know I must remain in constant communication Of the old wound’s habits There no bad habits here Just need for love and reassurance © 2012 Maryam Mottahedeh |
