One Incident

One Incident

one incident is enough:
to break you
to change you
to shape you

one incident is enough:
to besmear
your red heart
to blotch
your white clear paths

one incident is enough!

and
you are allowed
to lose
you are allowed
to fail
you are allowed
to take time

and
yet,
you are not
to escape
you are not
to look for
the older life

you are not to look
for the older self
you are not to search
for the older smile

you are not to search
for the things
that you lost

for,
one incident is
enough,

enough,
to break you-
to change you
to shape you

one incident is enough!
