A Bit of Advice
By Lily Dennis
the world doesn’t stop in
it’s tracks
to pick up where
it left off
when you claim that
you are ready-
sharp thorns cut through
worn shoes
and leave behind impressions of blood and
dust on the earth.
the path laid before you stretches
miles
and with it the pain of
memory
this pain i know to be too
real.
for what else to remind us
that we are simply
mortals
than the wounds that never
heal?
