Spectre

Artwork: Silent Stories - Audrey Kawasaki, 2008

i will
hold my
tongue
and say
nothing
more...

instead:
i will
reach out
and touch
and heal
and comfort
and soothe
those who
need
succor -

or:
there are
many ways
of taking
revenge -

to all of those
who have done
me harm
in decades,
years,
months,
weeks,
days
past:

i'd watch
my back
if i
were you...

you never
know
who may
be walking
behind.
