when i am done



do i actually hunger ...
           for the appreciation?
can that be
     what this is all about…
            or at least
            more than i had
            originally considered? 
perhaps
i never did consider…
after all…       
         it takes something
        of a harbinger
         for me to dive
        that deep
         into introspection.    
still
i cannot help but wonder
      why it feels
       so different now.
      what could be
       the problem?...
and so
i question it all…
        the motivation…
         the drama…
         the need…
         and i worry…
what will be left of me…
    when i am done?

yet again


the old wound
while not evident...
never fully healed.
requiring  barely
a trifling change in weather…
to bring pain…
yet again.
