a daily breath

A slight slip of the wrist, or
an accident or mistake, sure
to curtail all those immediate
thoughts or intentions.
   Is it one of those days?
   Humbly acknowledge your
predicament, wipe away the
residue of your most recent
mishap, turn the page, and
find yourself another space
where you won’t have to
maneuver around the detritus,
dampness, and disintegrated
dialogue that you doubted.
   You have things to say.
   Make your self the priority.
   There is always time and a
destination for clarity and
clear thinking. Write on.
   It is one of those days.
