Barren

Restless,

She paces

Through

The upstairs rooms.

~

The days,

Her life,

These rooms,

Full.

Empty.

~

White furniture agleam.

Pastel linens, crisp.

Pottery Barn Perfection.

~

Functional?

A façade.

Keepsakes

Purchased long ago

When hope survived,

Ere plans

And babies

Died.

~

Ah …

This pacing

It’s risky business.

Better get back to that full, busy life.

    Kim,

    In some ways this reminds me of pacing at Pysch unit – and then trying to get “structure” back into place and meds into you right away – I know for my experience that was good, and yet sometimes I have wondered like you…”how risky” it can be to not pace and “be deprived” of that walk/ that constitution :) – where does that stuff go? -oh the cycles/cycling?!!… hmmm….
