She would have gone to bed
And let the mess wait
For the morning,
Or the following
Millennia,
Had it not been for voices
That still
Echoed
From her past
To smudge shame
Onto her
Present.
She grabbed the mop
And filled the pail.
For the dVerse poetry quadrille challenge: smudge

When you’re out of juice
Depleted
Wrung out
Brain-mushed
Yawn-injected …
Take the time to rest.
When you’re harking for the days
Of face plant in spaghetti …
It’s time for slug-fest.
When you’re putting keys in fridge
And eggs in pockets …
Take the hint
And
Make a nest.
[Dedicated with much love to Adele, who I have a feeling understands … :)]
