Written August 12, 2001. Sometimes you get what you want and then you have to let go of it.

The seal was broken,
the bottle uncorked,
exactly...365 days ago.

And so, the year
came round (unbound),
to and through the......
moment a wonderful
memory was made.

What makes THAT thought
so razor sharp?
The crystalline edge
of a burned "cannot.

cutting away
(all good and bad)
might-have-beens,
"shoulda," "woulda," and
maybes...leaving only
pure feelings of
immeasurable loss...

"Tick, tock," chant
the hands as they
sweep 'round the clock:
pushing/pulling...
that day away so a
new one can be
borne.

Breathe...
through the ashes
(of the fire your
tears put out),
...and rise.

Be the rainbow.
