don’t show me
the endless, shallow ditches you dug
the miles you crossed in ceaseless searching
don’t show me
the countless, abandoned cracks in the crust
show me instead
the hole you honed
that turned into the pit
that you dared crawl into
and then you crept some more
show me the well
that you dared dive into
and you dwelled
until you hit your spring
as the river you reamed
to share that fresh water
out in a stream
like never before
releasing to the world
because you are willing to unfurl
to be bold and unfold
your story now told
now show me
how you laugh and pivot
whenever you see a divot
and know
to ditch it
