Innocence … (a poem)

Innocence

Stripped back we are all innocent.

Our innocence dwells and waits for us beneath

Beneath the stack of:

How we have and are misunderstood.

Anger towards injustices

Hurts and wounds and blows.

Passions, accidents and dents.

Miscalculations, wins and losses.

Bend down.

Take a peek.

She, it, he, they are there.

Reclaim, remember

Love again
