Knots will not Loosen to Let Go
Old sorrows return
years of re-runs still bruise me
ghosts I cannot hush
appear and glint in the dark
insignificant yet loud
I re-track to ask—
why did it unfold that way
what should I have done-
the past provides no answer
only revives of my doubt.
closure is a myth,
no band-aid can seal the wound
karma has no plot
the past is never prompted
the present no curtain call
better to own up—
it's not solved, over, done with
embers in ashes
needs care not to kindle them
go on with and without them
yet still I linger,
hand clutching unknotted threads—
I want to let go
but echoes cling like cobwebs
and knots retie in my grip
