I asked the way and this was her reply

So this is how I see the inside

With one eye on the second chance

Think on of the good stuff

The greens, the rye, the chicory, the tea


Displace the alcohol, the tablets

And the mean streak of self-inclusion

The confused latent mind needs to re-engage

To find a point from where to begin


To find its own clean sheet of paper

Its own still wilderness to walk in

At the fresh time of dawn, barefoot

On the dewdrops, under the last of the stars


Listen to the bloods circulation

Feel the tingle; the numb spots, the cringe

Of closed veins, there like the potholer caught

In the deepest darkest cavern


As the oversized trout slides down

The hungry heron's throat; gulp, catch

Another breath, it's far too soon

To even think of letting go
