The Place

So many places

Familiar faces

Conversations

Different times that there is bliss and peace.

This is what peace feels like in the midst of mental chaos

Storms

Lightning

Then

Silence

Bird’s chirping

The same feeling you get when you hit the

*Lights the lighter *

Nah not that but an incense instead to aírate the space of sandalwood or palo santo.

Decompress unwind there is no need to have you back so tight and your shoulders tense.

Mamas you’re fine

You see this object is

A object we fail to realize is the reason relationships are hard to shake out of .

I know it may seem crazy

So many places

So many faces

So many one sided or multi sided conversations

This is something most fail to realize can carry so much weight but is never given thanks enough.

I know I’m typically a certain type of poet.

I can wow you or have you other ways, but tonight.

I’m trying to say I miss you with out saying it like I just did

I know your expecting there to be a name

Or I say someone’s name again

But it’s not a person.

I think that’s why it’s so hard to look at familiar places

With photographic memory

That makes the faces stuck in the moments

I wish it was like a vhs tape

But I think that’s the problem

I want something that physically has the memories then I can chose when to play

Rewind

Pause

And fast forward.

To the reality

Not my mind replaying them when I get a whiff of your perfume in the wind

Or even something similar that is just you.

I want to get away from these memories

But I think back at when you laid on that brown couch we all knew too well from peeling

See look there I go back to memories of you

I wish this was a vinyl record

You know once it skips it’s something hard to fix.

I know it sounds crazy to give so much weight to this object

But when you first buy it

Or you always watched shows on it on Sundays or end of the night

Those things just stay lingering in sight

Without you even being there

It’s current day.

It’s February 29th,2024

And I think it’s time I get up from this couch don’t you?

Call Issa and Lawrence I need help moving this outside before it’s starts pouring.
