The Healing Time

Finally
On my way to “yes”
I bump into all the places where I said “no” to my life

All the untended wounds
the red and purple scars
those hieroglyphs of pain carved into my skin, my bones,
those coded messages that send me down the wrong street again and again.
Where I find them
the old wounds
the old misdirections
and I lift them one by one close to my heart
and I say “holy, holy.”
