Crawling from twohourlong sleep to showerShaveStow goods. Burning through stories of loss, guilt, waste & destruction, to make something of what's left, going North to an unknown outpost. Three meals by the afternoon, back breaking, heartaching, full of loves that lost, those I hurt, those who hurt me, wanting reconciliation, trying to reach out, dizzy, spinning among candles in the trees. Watching the old year burn away, passing out. A final flourish of love and friendship, old & new. And at the last, unrecividist, at least for a while. I've hurt, been hurt, had & been an evil ex, but the past is another country and besides, the wench is gone.
But I'm still loved. Held. Integral.
Horror of unlovely love, new year just-not-missed brings laughter, plans, messages, old songs, words. We're older than we thought possible. Time to end my sublime liminality, bring down governments. And grow up.
Failed, but not.
