with two steps forward and
one or two steps back.
If two steps, it gets buried
under rhetoric and laws.
A moment in time is passing
with halting steps forward,
pauses for backstepped history.
Even silenced voices have been heard
and the heat of anger explodes.
A moment in time will pass ~
What steps will be taken?
Forward, back or dancing in circles?
When the heat has cooled
what will be?
“Truth is a seed
planted deep.
If you want to get at it
you have to dig.”
