I was amazed after I finally posted what I backwash of shame I felt. It took four days to work up the courage to come back to the site. So now I'm here I wrote this incantation. It's not really a poem. It's a blurt.

Incantation

Ask.
Knock.
Squeak.
Speak.
The word is strong.
Sound is essential.

Defy the shame.

Come out.
Show up.
Dig up the talents.
Release the light.
Dare.
Vote.
Shout.
Shine
Be still.
Be radiantly,
quietly,
articulately,
completely
yourself.
