Revisiting

Unearthing blind roots, cyclic thoughts
spin round again
as if they had just come to me,
and had not been arriving forever.

Abandoned living-spaces excavated
from under the forgotten foundations
of elsewhere.
Places we leave our sweat in,
litter that never goes away,

stuff in pockets that once belonged
to a best jacket.
A best life thus far – but when?
