Eating everything
on the menu
Dylan asked for more
His hunger
reestablished
leftovers on the floor
A bite into
the future
yesterday a whore
A meal once paid
forever staid
— new rawness to procure

Belinda has called my phone three times today
I have not responded, even texting her back
because she is always miserable and woeful
conversations are one-sided, and depressing
I had forgotten this when I reestablished contact
it did not take me long to remember
now I am stuck if I answer the phone
I do sometimes, when I am cleaning
so she feels listened to, getting my points in heaven
for only an angel would intentionally listen
she is melancholy and sad, and determined to remain so

I have looked beneath my heart;
And deep down soul within;
I am now soften-up new start;
Renewed, rebirth, remolded new again;
A reestablished soften heart;
Hallelujah my new
REMOLDED SOFTEN Heart-
4/26/24

Ever present, sometimes languished,
Almost gone, then reestablished.
This is why, defences high!
To your offer, no reply...

Rebooted and reestablished ready to go,
This is a new me and a new season.
No idea what’s waiting for me,
All I know is to fully trust you,
This is my reset moment,
My perspective has been changed.
I cast my worries by the wayside,
Take them away with the ocean tide.
I’m about to win the lottery,
Claiming all that’s in store for me.
Your word is alive inside of me,
Outcast my fear linked with change.
Nerves won’t hold me back this lap,
I’m going all out around the track.
I’m preparing for a new journey,
One door closes a new one opens.
