a morning reverie



I woke today,
my heel bruised and aching.

I think I have finally
stomped you out for good.

I'm not angry for my lot.
I'm not going to resent the price
my Mother paid.

The sacrifice she made
I understand now.

You don't visit my dreams anymore.
Is it because, like Him, you are here
Always?

I know Whom I choose
and my heels will be bruised

For the crushing of you.
