It’s hard to write as
I crawl between your fingers wagging
Aging my way to judgement day
Repentance reeking of self righteousness
Heavy scents of sincerity
You keep sending me notes and epiphanies
Squeezing through doors already sealed
Making your points ethereal
My nemesis, always the witty one
Wagering with my very soul
You are dust, still stirring
From my careless catastrophes
I do confess, I need you less
But please….stay close enough
To haunt me gently
Written for dVerse – “Meeting the Bar with a Letter”. Bjorn is our host.

Brilliant, Mish, a letter to your mistakes! I love the opening lines with the fingers wagging and the ‘… notes and epiphanies
Squeezing through doors already sealed
Making your points ethereal’.
Fingers wagging,….wagering for my very soul! Close enough to haunt me gently. What words!
I can identify with this…they are hard to shake. But sometimes the remembering is useful. (K)
A very novel idea Mish. Keep on reminding us gently.
We all make them, and hate them…mis-takes are probably just missing the mark, and after all “we always have tomorrow to get things right!!!”
How unique, MIsh! I love, ‘squeezing through doors already sealed’.
We do learn by our mistakes… remind me gently. I think that is key 🙂
I love the idea of this, and the execution.
I felt like sleeping under the poem. It depicts a journey of understanding rather than fleeing. Nice!
