workbook

i can't explain
the tears ragged
at the edge when i
open up a workbook
collection of half-
suggestive memories,
why both urges claw
for slamming doors
or walking inside

poison years weary
and all i can think is
i wish you were here
whoever you are
lingering in shadows
in the deep corners
of my mind

    To me this says much about the curse (?) of being able to see both sides of a situation. Procrastination is the enemy of progress. Or is it?
    Thoughtful piece, Michael.

      Thanks!

      We all have to decide eventually for ourselves, don’t we?
