CONFUSION
Confusion
can be accepted
even welcomed when
we understand
its potential,
Confusion is
a symptom of
a shaking up
a dying off
a rebirth—
all a creative process,
Old habits slough off
new ones remain unformed
Old needs like old friends
no longer suffice,
new ones are untested,
Rejoice in confusion, it
presages growth,
creation,
death,
of that which must die.
October, 1984
