    true grit

    deliberately wandering through tunnels
    in her mind, sniffing out corridors
    long blocked off, doors
    that have been locked
    for ages; what demons lie in wait
    ready to strike? readied stance
    to face them again, she bravely
    gives chase, one by one, until
    they can no longer harm.

    excellent! excellent! excellent!

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.
