Voices That Follow

July 21, 2025

Keeping

memories close

pushing

people away

I live in

the safety

of what’s held

at bay

Trading

the future

retreading

the past

Living

nostalgic

for what

cannot last

Each

invitation

each corner

unturned

Calls to me

distant

calls to me

spurned

But I keep

on running

retracing

old steps

As voices

still follow

in search

— of me yet

(Dreamsleep: July, 2025)
