I heard her say, "I'll never go back

but, she went back on every word

trowing away everything

she ever learned

she burned with more than desire

 

everything, she worked for

she lost in her own fire

her children turned her away and they

don't want to see her face no more

 

she's lost somewhere

as if she cannot be found

buck naked in a backroom of a

trap house

somewhere underground

 

the doors wide open

but, she can't cross the threshold

 

keeping the shame captive

still the secrets manages to get out

 

she thinks she's hiding

but, she gets found out

 

she finds it hard to get up off the ground

or up from the steps of a dirty porch

she's no longer clean

 

she went back to doing her own thing

 

we know how this story ends

round and round and back again

 

25 years clean

what does that really mean?

too many in between

fire don't mix with gasoline
