My mind is an eyesore
a trash heap
a rubbish pile
a collection
of all the thoughts
I’ve collected over
sixty years
you plod about
some
and after a time
It begins to feel
like hoarding
your partner dead
these 5 years from
unspeakable cancer
women
loved and lost
abandoned
or
swirling off
like roadside dust
that night in Florida
turning 18
drunk and passed out
under the table
wadded up
like dirty laundry
praying for death
all the dogs
you loved and lost
your first kiss
at 13
making love on
a mossy bank
with Dacia
her meaty breasts
soft as ripened
mangoes
time doesn’t care
what I collect or
discard
treasure or
abhorred
after a while
it all just seems
to run together
like soup
there ought to be
more I think
ravens
lillies
a night with full moons
and southern winds
when any damn thing
you wished
was so close
you could taste it

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Very thoughtful, mature perspective. I find that the older I get, the more I cherish experiences from the past that, at the time, I didn’t pay enough attention to. It feels like life has been a huge meal with an endless variety if dishes, but I’m only now beginning to digest; only now am I beginning to let them nourish me in ways I was unaware of in my youth.
