return to that place? I'll return only
to find what was once lost and
to fix this broken part of me
--that which was broken
to make what never was and
to pull down shade screens formed
to blind the penitent to newly ordered crimes--
and to forever fix this rift between the fixers and I.
This is really a tricky one Rachel - as is a series of blind alleys awaits in the past, and someone at fault that puts you where are now. That's the best I can do.
The very best as always Ray

Thanks for reading, Sal. I don't want to give the impression of being unappreciative--I need encouragement probably as much as anybody. Often, I feel a bit too paralyzed to say much of anything. As much as I try to get around that, I guess I just need to accept it as part if me.

Sometimes I don't say anything for fear of wearing out my welcome with too many 'excellents' or 'great pieces' said, but you truly raise the bar with the poetry you write.
It's always a treat to read.

Ray, I'm happy to know that it sparks any thought at all--you definitely couldn't be wrong. Our minds are all so unique and there is great beauty in that.
Thank you. And thanks to you too, David and Becky.
