Ambivalent

 

I see you are wearing the bracelets

around your wrists

the ones that bind you

to a semblance of your past

in the early days

shortly after you broke free

 

"Walk along this corridor and perhaps

the paintings on the wall can reveal

what your walk is heading for

touch the paint that failed to dry"

 

I see that you have rediscovered

a charm shinny and bloody

once hidden

that you hang on the breeze

to capture a ray of sunshine’s past

an effigy for hope

 

"the seepage a reflection of your life

open the door it leads to a desert

and let the sun bronze your skin

kick the sand beneath your feet"

 

I see that you have a new gaoler

one that submerges

you within depths

of an addiction’s bottled myth

amongst the thistles

and blankets of heather

 

"walk awhile and you can imagine

you may find a water so pure

that will wash away the surface

that seals and refresh your garden"
