it just healed that wayA Poem by Taliwounds, healing woundsthat man, walking so slowly down the
side of the road from a distance, it almost appears as
if he is dancing yet as i get closer, i can see, it is
an obvious painful walk a leg with an obvious bend that while he walks, he dips a break perhaps untreated, untended, unpaid for,
unaccounted for his leg wasn't born misshapen it just healed that way this woman standing by me in the line at the grocery store stares into space her eye cloudy and unseeing her other eye weeping unconscious
tears the scar running down the side of her
face tells a story and in the end you know her eye was not born with a veil it just healed that way as i rush from the liquor store my evening's comfort secure in my hand i avoid that man, raging against an
unseen foe thrusting his chest out, eyes blazing meaning business i know his mind was not born confused and
disoriented it just healed that way and as i reflect on my harsh, often
acid-laced words and wonder why i lash out, retreat, regret, reflect,
and react the way i do i think i can honestly say my heart was not born, like this it just healed that way © 2023 Tali |
