989 - Mental Turns


Poet’s United Midweek Motif : Nostalgia


Mental Turns

Nostalgia plays 
Its siren song;
We fall 
Beneath its spell.

We reconstruct 
The past and smile
At stories it can tell.

It’s false,
This bright and mental waltz.
Futile
And quite pointless because
Wistfully hopeful, we long
For something 
That never was.

Take your time, look around,
