NaPoWrimo 29/30 Turn Back

 
For all the times I wanted to turn back / Yearning with the other feet / Learning another street / Sojourn complete? / Dubious / Mt. Vesuvius burned Earth Mother’s cheek / Deep gash seared / Ash for years / After laughter comes tears / Rapture and fear / Capture what’s hidden in mirrors / Chat with djinns as peers / Sacrilege the entrance fee / Sentence medicine past the years / Essence freed / Present and clear / Metaphysical precedence / In my ears / Spin it near / To the original sound that steers / Lasso me to what’s nearly invisible yet so near / Unabashed raw honesty / Like some ambassador to Themyscira / Returned and discerned lack / Carry my own urn / But it doesn’t earn slack / Just a reminder tap / Like be sure that’s not a trap / A tack on the map / The worm under the mat / For all the times I wanted to turn back
