Watching Vader Burn


Like reading an old diary
while scrying with a black mirror
she looked both ways
trying to see her future's past

Could she really have been so full of hubris
thinking she escaped unscathed

Was she searching for excuses
the comfort of victimhood
Our Lady Of Intense Suffering

Or was it somewhere in the middle
through but not straight
in between but not equal

Cutting away the ego
without chipping away the truth

She's all there somewhere
the person she
could've
would've
should've
been with who she
was
is
and now
might be
should be
wants to be

Is she strong enough
is she sharp enough
to see what's behind without getting lost in the pages
to smash the reflection of maybe
and set goals with honest heavy lifting

What to set alight
What to fold and temper

Contemplations while watching Vader burn
