prayer to myself

"what is this control
so tight
i see

a covering
a shelter
over me?

it's heavy
and dark
in my homemade cocoon

oh, please
let me out
to see the moon"



this morning i came across
this sad little plea
penned by me
many years ago

an apt description
of my state
then

it's been a process
but i'm happy to report
that i'm beginning to see

and the moon
is quite remarkable
