The stunning depths
to which we may fall,
the catacombs
of self loathing
we may plumb,
not climbing
and clawing our way out,
but staying, enduring,
for years,
making a home there,
a life there,
until....
something
turns.
I drink my morning coffee,
raising the cup
cradling that
quivering blackness
to my lips
with bruised fingertips
and broken nails,
toasting those
brave explorers,
those spelunkers of hell.
