bags of rubbish
extracted from the loft

digging through the loft makes memories resurface
and leaves me torn 'twixt throwing out and keep;
art supplies can always be re-purchased
but the paintings that I made can make me weep.
The history of hobbies shows a theme
which can be subtitled 'me against the world;'
Once upon a long ago a dream
drew me onwards like a flag unfurled.
I recall that when my house was repossessed
I lost so many things I held as dear;
and maybe prompted me to be obsessed
with the gnawing pit of dread I've come to fear.
And so I vow to rid myself of suffering
and glory in the present. Life is buffering.
