I have rewritten it and want to share it with you today. She also recommended the book at the bottom. I have ordered it myself from Amazon.

Skat in the woods
My mistakes leave skat in the woods:
little turds of guilt
or sometimes elephant skat
where worlds meet
and put me on a
totem of shame
for all to mock.
And then humility rains down
upon my head:
natural hydration for my soul!

the three ring circus hides under the tent
Foraging picks through the center island
Awkward keeps his eyes down
Put-it-off drops wrappers everywhere
Obsessive wipes the counters to dazzling
Martyr-complex kneels ’til callouses form
the dull light of Guilt never dims
Entertainer pirouettes round the ring
She’s a Performance artist in the buff
