look back

 

my natural inclination

assess

 

move forward

past

is precedent

 

the patriarchy disagrees

do not 

look back   heed luke 9:62

 

heed lot's hard-luck wife   heed

eurydice

who saw daylight   briefly   

 

i will look back   may find myself 

mid-air   

having stepped off a cliff   

 

~

 

marketa suggests

selective looking back

The past is a foreign country - as the wise man said, and we have no map or guide we can trust; nice one Jim.
