⭐ THE UNPOLISHED SEASON — Poem II
The evening arrived
without ceremony –
no graying light
trying to soften the edges,
no sun giving up
in a poetic way.
Just a room
that didn’t care
whether the day
had finished anything.
The dishes waited
without accusation.
The chair held its shape
without offering comfort.
Even the air
seemed done pretending
it could help.
I sat in the half‑light,
letting the hours
fall where they wanted –
not searching for meaning,
not rehearsing calm,
just existing
in the quiet gravity
of an unfinished day.
Nothing transformed.
Nothing redeemed itself.
And maybe that’s the truth
I keep avoiding –
some days end
exactly as they lived:
unpolished,
unresolved,
unapologetically ordinary.
A small honesty
that doesn’t shine,
just sits.
