Editing Out “ editing keeps you sane”
By day I forget
my past transgressions–
the jokes that hurt
the school yard collision
the lack of sufficient help
to those in need at home
or around the world
failures to confront injustice
because of expediency
and a quieter life.
Daylight is a great editor
disinfecting and expunging
but not long after midnight
nagging ghosts creep back
accusing and confronting
eliminating much desired rest
demanding renewed commitment
to just struggles and forlorn hopes
taking chances to give real love
to the desperate of humanity.
