Bitterness

this moon
seems less full
than my mind
this evening

the air
as thick
as thoughts
that choke me
as i swallow
the bitterness
of pain


(just another scribble)

You are on a roll, and it makes me smile this morning, forgetting to drink my coffee.

Some mornings are like that, we wake to thoughts we really wished had stayed in the past. This feels bitter but in a sweet poetic way
