Complacentia


When you find yourself sheltered

in your own little corner,

it’s time to move on

 

When you find yourself buying

what your echoes are selling,

it’s time to be gone

 

When you find yourself spinning

in a circle redundant,

it’s time to step out

 

When you find the beginning

detached from the ending

—your future in doubt 

 

(Dreamsleep: January, 2021)
