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.
