Blame,
trapped in a maze of
unwelcomed thoughts
Bumping into walls,
caught, mixing cement out of fear

In grooves of vinyl
tracks, lay lady guilt, spinning a song
weak tonearm
an unweighted needle
keeps skipping back
to the same part of the bridge,
leaving to be Dylan

Plays over and over again
in her head

The plummer came
to fix her pipes
when he asked her
into the stall
to try it all
to turn it on
see if it works
get wet
they drowned in the
passion in
each other's eyes
hypnotized
without regret

Closer and closer
the sky lowers
kissing my skin
crushing my opinions
into leaks
sending tears down
my cheeks
can't hear the cries
when a whisper
evaporates into lies

Unobserved
am I matter?

I'm ancient
my life
packed neat
in boxes
in the attic
by my wife
just waiting
for last breath
and my burial
in our plot.
Send the lot
to Goodwill
to be forgot.
Our own life...and others

A sensory examination

Spilled out

Nothing is wasted

It is our write
Life experiences make great poetry. Sometimes they aren’t ours but we feel them as our own.
