Tangleweed and brine

Tangleweed and brine

*

As I move along

Familiar walkways

And open the doors and windows to

Familiar rooms and spaces

I miss you

*

For you’ve left behind

A web of tangleweed

That continues to pull and tug

Even though I try my best

To steer clear of it.

*

And with it returns

The salty taste of brine

That I had assumed

Would not touch my nostalgic eyes or lips

Any more

*

And even though I wince often

I know

Time with its clippers of indifference

Will make sure

I get over it like everything else

*

Till Tangleweed and brine

Become nothing more

Than a collection of recycled fairytales

Meant to be untangled from

And shelved after a good read.
