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….
