On My Way Back
October 16, 2019•56 words
I'm on my way back
after an age and a
half spent without
myself, for all that
feeble loyalty
devoured by those
ungracious souls
that cannot ever
feed me what I need
most or provide the
solace I want within
my own hard-baked
soft-shell so brittle
and ready to fall
apart into your
gentle, open hands.
