let’s tidy up my mind

Please take your soppy mop And swish it through my mind I have a couple memories there That I’d appreciate you find And swiffer jet that shit away To dump them with their kind. The memories I have stored there Are mostly soft and sweet But quite a few seem overdue: They’re too broken battered beat. So please do me the honor And clear the messiness you see.

Releasing

I drop the stones from my hand one by one by two by many. I watch as they leap down the mountainside, once burdens in a pocket. They glitter and glint as they roll, free spirited away. They were not mine. They did not serve me. I could have released them so long ago. I clap my hands to dispel the dust which is then caught by a streak of sunlight. I pull my pockets inside out and…

The Stranger Sitting Alone with a Cup of Coffee and a Scowl

I want to know your stories tangled words you keep in mind all the wonders of your walls and the life you left behind. I want to know the tears you weep cracked sighs that leave your lips the match that burns inside you beneath rubble, rock and bricks. I want to know the reasons why all the because’s and how so’s.

My left shoe went on the right one as I headed out the door; I pulled into the gas station — it was instead the grocery store. My Google search for…

Dirty Laundry

I dragged out the dirty laundry that our relationship did make and I set them in the washer to soak in soap today. The grumble and the gurgle, the whirl and spin and shake – I sat with crossed arms waiting for the last of the washer’s quake. Once the red light vanished the lock clacked its release, I shoved the laundry in the dryer to smooth out every crease. I watched it toss and…
