if not today...

If I may interrupt
to process mindful resilience
for a bit...

Let me ask again:
Noticing you are concerned about long-winded
and -winding

A harrowing drive on the Schuylkill Expressway
(route 76) both heading into

Her cognition is sporadic
Longing for her to relax
And display calm tactics

#moon in Scorpio... 
As a result,
poesie naturally gravitated
toward intimate situations
that allowed her free reign 
to openly express herself.
