You spoke
Of vulnerability.
Said,
It isn’t weakness.
Alleged
It’s taking
Emotional risk.
Facing uncertainty.
Claimed
It fueled
Our daily lives —
Forward, with consequences.
The moral imperative:
Dance
With the Shame
That brung ya.
Dance, dance,
Dance …
In the swampland
Of your soul.
I’ll dance, then …
Putin’ on galoshes,
Finding my way,
Splish-splashing around.
Fallin’ apart;
Feelin’ fantastic.
Like “Vulnerability TED.”
Surviving.
