Sometimes


sometimes it hurts
to be friendly
with my memories
sitting in clothing
that is mine
next to tender skin
scratching me like
a past prickly petticoat
that I really
didn’t want to wear

“all romantics meet the same fate”…Joni Mitchell

Well described, the past as a petticoat.

Your words draw me in every time....every single time.

If you're not yourself, then there is no you.

At least you can take off a petticoat, huh?
Well done, indeed!
