When memories
exceed your dreams
And time moves on
and youth retreats
Hindsight’s a lesson
it’s 20/20
Revealing the devil
plays for keeps
My whole world
clips of a crime scene
Feathers unfurled
watching it bleed
Coming dangerously
close to anemic
A demons host
searching for home
Life can be
a little messy
Trying my best to keep
it clean
What’s coming next
keeping me guessing
Ace to my chest
Jack in my sleeve

WARNING. I will be tapping into one of your favorite creative tensions: The absurdity of humans worshipping their glowing rectangles as if they were tiny oracles. There’s something deliciously poetic about that contradiction, and it lends itself beautifully to an instructive proviso.

Oooo, this was so deep and powerful!
This is a powerful poem that one could try to live by. Good job.
Oh Kelli, so tight and loose all in one pure magic!
"Life can be a little messy Trying my best to keep it clean" Yeah I can relate to that. Another great job Kelli and congratulations on being recognised as a 'liked creator'. You know I am a big fan

I like the thread of preparation for anything and stealthy care!
