Today I Shed Clear Light

Today I shed clear light upon
An ingrown situation
One which to morality
Bore no faint relation

Fair discussion every player’s
Motivations of
Peeling back the diseased layers
Corroded from lack of love

It’s a calling hazardous
As any made by the Divine
This telling of the Sterling truth
Assigned here to be mine

The telling, it will come and pass
But afterward, perhaps for years
Its teller will experience
Every one of your worst fears

Until removal of the stalker/targeter/vandal/arsonist following her allows her to approach any landlord ~ even for a private parking space ~ and to begin once again to create professional connections and to rebuild her life, this poet presently lives homeless and at a fraction of her nation’s poverty level.
