Ignorant Desires (poem)

letting go of the shame and the blame…

Ignorant Desires

Remembrances of sleepwalking into the night
and vaulting over backyard fences served
to remind me over the years of how much
I wanted to leave and be in a place of peace;
a home of love and respect, acceptance and support,
without the constancy of stupor and sluggishness.
