DUST SETTLES AFTER
THE SKIN HAS FALLEN AWAY
The load bears witness to the growth.
Heavier now than before.
The weight more solid, too.
I guess that’s what it means
to mature
to love
to be hurt.
Age adds a lot to your face,
Except hair.
You hope one day
That everything you built
(Started to build)
That every piece comes together.
Time feels wasted looking back,
But you haven’t learned the lesson
Looking forward.
Sometimes there is no Lesson,
Just an exhaustion from experience
Repeating.
