Accelerant by Anita MacIf you’re looking to hit
rock-bottom,
I will nurture you right into
that Mess.
Show me your ugly side
until I unexpectedly
learn the Lesson
and you’re left to finally
face yourself.
I will never know
what you think of me After that,
but about There seems to be
where Salvation begins.

Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 02/01/16 at 04:19 AM Cool word...Accelerant. Very personal poem, and yet can be applied to various relationships; reminds me of a period I went through with my son a few years back. Evocative, short but powerful piece of writing. |

Posted by Richard Vince on 02/07/16 at 11:29 PM mm. food for thought. particularly regarding finally facing oneself. i suppose we can only hide behind others for so long. |

Salvation by fire is the way to go.
And your titles burn, without fail. |
