Suffice

 We renovate what we can

If we're able. Often, it's the case, that we learn

Later, what we've done to who we are

And then a sturdy reprimand is in order.

I've sifted through boxes of stored history

Seeking ways to thin inventory

Finding old pieces of paper that tell sad tales 

That sound so similar

To my

Today. 


I want to burn those words... and

Eradicate the proof

That in ten years time

The caged heart has remained

Brutally, the same. 


It's time for growth

Outward. Inward. All around. 

To suffuse my needs into the effort needed

That will yield something warmer

Than my own two hands.
