[prose] feelings in this moment
feelings
It just doesn't feel like my feelings
are important enough
to write anything about anymore.
Though the feelings
become more complex
and even deeper than ever before,
and though the years of healing
from abuse and abandonment
are still in play,
it just doesn't seem to matter,
these common complaints and
heartbreaks.
Words are trite and insufficient.
My function as a poet
feels oversimplified.
