A Mind Remiss

Katie B.

 A Mind Remiss

 

I lose things

Scattered

Flighty

A mind remiss

In flight

I found the keys in a cup

Phone on a mantle

But my slippery mind

I missed the most

Found in a puddle

I keep track of character, integrity

And Water Ford Cystal

A heart for humanity underneath

This frothy chest

    There is a feeling of deterioration in this poem but despite the exterior rot inside there remains a human heart. This is sad and yet hopeful

  • Thomas W Case

    Powerful.

  • Paul Bell

    It is amazing where you find things, and even more amazing is how they got there in the first place.
    I myself blame the little people, but they say its got nothing to do with them.

  • Tristan Robert Lange

    Katie, there’s a gentle ache in this that lingers. The scattered rhythm mirrors the mind you describe…then that puddle image pulls everything inward. By the time we reach “This frothy chest,” it feels like you’ve exposed something tender but resilient. Strong, honest piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

        I couldn't have put my thoughts into words better! I concur!

        • Tristan Robert Lange

          You are most welcome. And, rock on Rachel...it really was how the poem left me feeling. Excellent job, Katie.
