Efficacy
Those parts of our lives we find unbearable, we change in our memory. An efficacy allowed when the truth would bend us till our heart broke and shattered.
How can we not find efficacious what seems less terrible than the truth? We survivors of the truth allow ourselves to remember a perception.
And yet, the truth never dies, unlike those we’ve loved now gone away. Efficacy lets us keep going when otherwise we would collapse as life flows out of us, darkness in. Oh dear, another hanging participle to efficaciously ignore. Humor is my patch as I move on to create anew a life shared.
