re-member, do not apologize

 






Anger is a teacher,
so let her teach you.

Let her point out all of the places
where you abandoned your sincerity
along the side of the road

simply to appease
someone else -

Where you stopped following
that great arch of your mythic life.

Let her show you where you have 
held yourself silent when the world

needed you to speak:
where your fierce wisdom
was cut off at the knees.

Our shadows have grown so grotesque,
we;ve mistaken them for culture,

but now is the time to re-member
what has been deliberately surppressed;
to prepare a grand feast for all the
ghosts who've been starved by neglect.

Do not apologize when feathers fall
like nighthawks from your fiery eyes.
