pathways



having been drunk
for most of my adult life
but sober these past few years
i've discovered pathways where
in reconstruction
my brain finds new roads
rebuilding
repairing the results of
damage done in drunken debauchery
and awake
conscious
and at the least aware
i'm startled now and then
when a new pathway opens up
new territory - no survey as yet
and my endorphins in reconnaissance
discover - just in time
that someone's already
been there.

I love that one.
:)
I also love that pic of you and Liam - Liam's tongue out! He does that still, blabbering away, his tongue all over the place. What a cutie.
He says he misses you!
