Unexercised

This week’s poem stirred by early morning thoughts and regrets… and resolutions. Memories of other lives, lived in a different light.

Unexercised

 

That part of myself

long ago put away, tinned,

with tightly screwed lid,

an icy corner behind flavors we don’t like.

 

Under fine dusting of neglect,

artistically articulated

 in outdated diaries,

stored in drawers behind extra keys to lost locks.

 

Despite lack of airing and exercise

I trust she will wake when called.

  1. I love this poem Rilla! I think we all as human beings can identifie ourselves with what you have captured in a few sentences and words! And I wonder what flower will come out, be refreshed and blossom! Wonderful poetry! Much love!
