Have you broken yours yet?

Have you misplaced the list of items neatly written out,

first in soft lined pencil, then set in stone in unforgiving ink

and underscored in black lipstick with a faint damned kiss

or with the blood of a passing forethought that strayed too close to the

edge?

This list, did it contain anything that you truly wanted to do or be

or better still, to achieve something in which others

would benefit from without ever knowing it was you

that set them on the road to redemption?
