Facelift

 It's been thirteen years. 

This place needed a bit of a face lift.  

Are you for stripping down to the bare minimum?

Are you ready to shed that which binds?  

It feels right to slip off the old, what was. 

It's common to accumulate layers over time, over years.

What does it take to peel away, to loose the encumbered lot?

A trigger, a catalyst - a catapult, a launching forward

from the wire-wound bog of what was.  

There is only onward

and it is promising.

A benign fire waiting.
