Moving forward??

The Hazy past

Like an anvil planted on my chest

Like the stray thoughts when nothing rests.

Like dreary, cold, lonely nights

sprawled on icy sheets.

Thinking of the past.

Shadows veil your

Countenance...

Your scent...

You.

    Wow! This hit on so many senses in such a memorable way! The weight of the anvil, the cold, the disappearance of a familiar scent. Great nonet, Mohammed!
