Countering - OR It Must Be That Time Of Year Again

Countering - OR It Must Be That Time Of Year Again
(c) Melina Magdalena (2008)

just briefly
let me say please
i have no interest in:
attack
or
counter-attack;
accusation
or
counter-accusation;
rewritten history
or
rewriting history;
threats
or
threatening

there
is
already
enough
sorrow
pain
heartache
trouble
misunderstanding
in this world

there
are
so many
sleights of hand
and
flights of fancy

let it be
dayenu
let it rest
dayenu
finally
dayenu
it is enough
already
dayenu

no more
returning
to those sore spots

no more
wringing of hands
licking of wounds
opening of scars

i have reached my
limitations

i have resurrected my
boundaries

i have gone as far
as I would go
