sheltered at home
apathetic to her own voice
fatigued by repetition
bored on bended knee
her lips worth more than
haunts of confession & regret
the only one in the room
the wrangle in her head
the ennui of isolation
she
wants
out
wants
out
fruit of nuanced glance
electricity of impending risk
electricity of impending risk
her
lips
hunger
lips
hunger
for
the
soft
the
soft
interior
of
of
another

thanks for reading!
the “ennui of isolation”!! This short poem has a year’s worth of cooped-up sentiment. Love the cascading last stanza!
it has certainly been a year, Kathleen. Thanks for reading my poem.
This one packs a powerful punch!
Love:
her lips worth more than
haunts of confession & regret
thank you!
