Where is My Nothing Room?

Less is more. I keep forgetting.
In the midst of purging my internal clutter, I lose perspective.
A sour smell takes hold ... like rotting.
Spoiled trauma that I try to dress up in decadence.
"It isn//'//t so bad."
Then stop carrying it around.
Spooling each filament of memory for storage in a decorative box.
"Here is where I//'//ll keep you."
Inevitably, you will make your visits unannounced and secretly unwelcome.
A gift of charity, through pleasant smiles and the unspoken.
I hope your day is short and you do not return.
"Oh please, stay as long as you//'//d like, really it//'//s no trouble."
Alas, it//'//s not always easy to entertain your own bag of parlor tricks.
There is no nothing room.
Let me sleep.

| Can so relate! In the past thoughts, lie what we think is the present. Let go, say we all, let go. Very intense, very relatable, nice write, P |
