On a Sunday
There is something unjust about this feeling
To overcome things once momentous
These humiliations feel clunky, like a safety harness
yet, I digress I have this monologue with the ceiling
To reconcile the present with the past is done
I found myself in convalescence
I seek not the future, only the next minute
Something to ease the heat of the mid morning sun
A tertiary take on the old ways of neglect
I planned and packed a snack
Something to chew, something to do
to nourish me while I search for something new
There is a grief so great
It reminds me of a boy who got a rock for trick or treat
For I do enjoy peanuts at a ball game
Despite nine innings making my thoughts feel rather inane
All to familiar I think I missed out
A quaint, Domestic life I feel without
My loved ones are no longer here
in propinquity to the streets
I knew all of last week, less colorful and more austere
For its time to move once more
To change the sheets
On the go endlessly
peripatetic in search of sensation
For this is not wanderlust, nor a needed vacation
What I seek is a certain Modesty
In my humility I have found strength
Starting new again; Once all have settled down
I stretch my legs to there full length
I begin this time with my feet firmly on the ground.
