building a gallows

about time that you owned up
to not knowing what to own,
where to look for ownership
and instead working out
your own annihilation.
stop it.
come home.
come back to the place
that makes claims on you,
demands of you history
and a sense of location,
testifies to your destination,
your unknown inheritance.

Oh. I see.

What sort of an MMM was that, again? There are different kinds, you know.

It is funny to me that folks responded to this post, which I wrote primarily for the sake of little old me, dealing with little old sins. I guess some things are universal; y'all seemed rather empathetic.

well that was an "mmmmmmmmm" with an exhaled sigh: the kind that happens when something blasts through one's pretenses and remembers the Truth again. mmmmmmmmmm.
