Born Again
~by Carl Josehart

reborn into the same body
same face
same place
is hard

navigating infancy
as an adult
is confusing

suckling anew
at the bosom of hope
recklessly weaned from past love
abandoned to search fresh
freedom, the burden of new beginning

too old
for others to recognize my youth
the newness of things
the weightiness of truth
