On a high horse riding
off in all directions --
'... too many places at once' she said.
Unity of self boring it's just fake
so drive onward, you've only decades
in which to flounder through these cycles
of scattering repeated beyond reckoning
She said the madwoman would have
been healed if she had continued --
continued in what? and 'There are no defeats
in this work'
and grateful there's
no danger of forgetting
four words said near the end
almost her last to me --
'Use what you know'
