Cabin Fever
on the other side
of yesterday
movement sticks
untenable future
unbendable past
a wishy-washy now
the cusp of today rotates
like a dejected pup
re-winds in multi-haze
re-runs and re-casts
the same weak scenes
that time once stopped
she leans into wabi sabi
relieves the pressure
still, movement sticks

You are incredible, Tumblewords. I am always blown away by your words and beautiful art.

So very powerful.
I adore this one, especially "a wishy-washy now"... so much deeper meaning throughout...

Well crafted with a big finish. Vb
Interesting poem with wabi sabi relief and sticking movement.Love the tortoise.You can learn a lot from Mrs.Cyclops.
This beautiful poem reads as though you're between a rock and a hard place. If you are, I wish you a swift and permanent excape.
PS
Madame Cyclops is the name of Durrell's sweet tortoise in " My Family and Other Animals"
I love that aesthetic expressed.
Feels a bit like those moments between seasons...is it winter, spring or the wishy-washy now. Nicely written.
Your last stanza is very good!
Yes, I do know movement sticking, too. In my bones.
Thank you for a poem which will also stick...
I particularly like the image of the dejected pup
untenable future
unbendable past
a wishy-washy now
perfectly written

Very powerful. I especially liked this verse: "untenable future
unbendable past
a wishy-washy now"
