the lotus eaters

we might not see tomorrow
so do it tonight
-
back from Zanzibar
changed and unchanged
-
here is where we begin again
confessing
seeking accountability
-
writing ourselves
down and up
-
if i'm to know
what i think at all
i must say it out loud
-
scream it
whisper it
-
this is not starting over
i never left
don't forget me
hold me in your heart
hold me
listen
i love you
all of you
all of the lotus eaters
