Into the Mist
My coffee’s gone cold
while I stare off into space,
wondering where the time went
as if I wasn’t wasting some of it
right now, watching you vaporize
into mist, right in the middle
of a weekday conversation;
as if I hadn’t just squandered
my precious moments with a coward.
Where does it go indeed,
when you believe in seeing the good
instead of the truth?
I dump out my cup and refill it,
determined not to waste a single drop,
or another thought
on you.

Dear L,
This poem is such a sage piece of insight in letting go of the nonsense, starting anew with fresh thoughts on those who bring us joy. It’s so frustrating when I let myself keep ruminating over someone who’s ridiculous. Cheers to never wasting another cup of coffee and keeping out the flies! H🌷

Our friends intuitions concur with mine. Nicely cathartic piece it seems like to me.

Luna, your spills are on a higher level of self consciousness written like a conversation it flows so well.
Great work
