a new chapter

a new chapter to start
the semblance of past relationships unfolds
the irony of the moment
to provide advice and insight about those others
whom I understand so well
the mistakes of my past unfolding in other
much like a shadow puppet play

it is the irony of life
that has placed me here now
to watch my errors be replayed by other
in almost elaborately painful detail
the words, the gestures, the end result
they all replay themselves
and I have been asked each time
to help sort it out, to provide insight
to advice ...

and the truth is--as much as truth
can be truth
that this feels too raw
