Pitfall

Here we go again

Down into the pit again, not where I intended to be vowing I was going to give it up as a bad job but obviously drawn to it apologising once more on my return; I’m even beginning to bore myself.

There’s an invisible coil in my back which can’t be reached or undone people do not believe it’s there no matter the amount of protesting this waging tongue makes, the more the waging, the more foolish it makes me look

I could always just admit I enjoy it once the bottom of the whiskey glass is reached.

But really, where’s the fun in that.

Thank you as always Dr Mehmet Yildiz and the ILLUMINATION-Curated team for giving my words a platform. 🙏 Thank you all for reading and your precious time. Always. J. 🙏✨
