Pluck!

It's been a while... A while since I have been able to write anything that is not too messy...
It's been a year...

Here's what it's like in my head since...
Most of the time...

Excuse the messiness... I just had to get it out a bit...

(With a special thought for those who, like me, suffer from trichotillomania ...)


Pluck! :


Pluck!

It strikes suddenly
A pounding emptiness
Infusing my chest
With melancholy

One by one, all around me
Nostalgic memories
Conceal the tainted remains
Of an unfulfilled quest

In this unpleasant engagement
I try not to surrender
But I lose my breath, then…

Pluck!

I’m battered by drifting thoughts
Longing for satiations
That will remain elusive
Along these same paths

Nonetheless, I tackle regrets
Gratified by carnal impulses
That remain counter intuitive, and…

Pluck!

I am whisked off by the wind
Swirling around them
With no place to rest…

Pluck…

Pluck!

Is there anything to hang on?
a fence, a branch, a leaf…

Pluck!

A conviction, maybe…

Pluck!

Not yet…

Pluck…
