Description
"Ut varias usus meditando extunderet artispaulatim"
Oh Friend, do not bear the price
Of Retreat. Such will always
Extract too high a price--
For to stay and cringe in the open
Serves you better than moving from
This trap
Too swiftly.
Imagine--and by that I mean look down!--
(Use the writer's eyes God gave you!)
Your foot is in a snare.
(Oh yes, our shame in harsh words
Is that nasty and many-toothed.)
Move with the closed mouth and freedom's price
Is your walking.
Rather, pry open these steel jaws,
Working against, slowly, the hungry shame and
Undeserved words that sank into your flesh and muscle.
When in time you force them open, pull your
Wounded self out and know it is safer, more
Whole then retreat would have promised you, a
Reward in blood for your quiet.
Destroy the story you loved
And you rip apart your heart.
To finish tour task is victory
In shame and hiding.
