Absterge

Poeta Nascitur Non Fit on Jul 29, 2011

The task of ablution and abstersion being performed. –Sir W. Scott.

I am writing this to test the waters from stormy seas to port

To square off against the complete lost of sanity

Choosing instead to teeter on stabilities edge

Tight rope walking on the metaphoric ledge

On the symbolic verge…as it were

Of sorts

I am writing this as a testimonial; a proverbial report

Reflecting the chain of events that prevent my ability

To abort my poorly thought out calamity

The sunken ship of opportunity to effectively dredge up

Decipher what of its contents created a wedge but

Then

Effectively purge myself of these things and for what?

To once and for all

Be done with it
