the magick lantern

turning curses into blessings
are the magick lantern
that has lit my path.

forgiveness is always the key
to open new doorways in the heart.

it's been quite some time
since i was brought
to the audition unit
tightly bound with a parched throat.

a very kind suicidal young boy
brought me water thru a straw.

kindness like that.
one never forgets.

the horrors recede
but the kindnesses linger.
