Yes, certainly, you are among the best. You never forget poetry, I promise you. Sometimes it Gathers Not like dust motes on a dresser Rather It takes to the underworld. Like leaves to a forest floor Nurturants build Fungal spores ripen Insects — decay’s friends Work their magic A vast army Trudges underground — Unseen to the eye Emotions Too embroiled yet for light Crinkle and crack Ideas roil Forms yet uncovered trace new paths Not slumbering Busy Yet unseen LikeLiked by 2 people Reply

Yes, certainly, you are among the best.
You never forget poetry, I promise you.
Sometimes it
Gathers
Not like dust motes on a dresser
Rather
It takes to the underworld.
Like leaves to a forest floor
Nurturants build
Fungal spores ripen
Insects — decay’s friends
Work their magic
A vast army
Trudges underground —
Unseen to the eye
Emotions
Too embroiled yet for light
Crinkle and crack
Ideas roil
Forms yet uncovered trace new paths
Not slumbering
Busy
Yet unseen

complicit with decay
