On Returning to Work

Going back to work today.
Back to the very halls
I was ejected from 
seven months ago. 

I will keep my head proud
and they will not suspect
that I am tasting
ashes in my mouth,

I will make my 
prodigal return a conquering hero
and they will weep for
ever having kicked 
me from their Garden.




OK, yes.  It's a pep talk of sorts.  Albeit only a marginally successful one.  LOL
