Regret. by Aaron Dusenberry
Sodden pillow, wet with perspiration.
Filaments of regret, inching forever downward.
Cramped orbs twitching in agitated slumber.
.. ..
A hand clutched in agonies prayer,
The afterthought of decisions made.
The fraying sense of wanton self.
Coalesce into streamers of memory;
But never fully engage.
.. ..
When all further reason is obscured,
And no answers remain to contemplate,
The vision is lost for good, and only the future awaits.
