I’m Afraid I’ve Lost My Way

I’m afraid I’ve lost my way
in the light of the Frigidaire.

That interrupted sleep,
my creep to the sweet
treats that call out my name,
a shame, it was empty,
forgetting the last cookie went in
around midnight 
after its dip into cold coffee.

Do not feel sorry for my senile
Zombie walk, my talk to the wrinkled
curtains that have never kept out
streetlights and full moons.

I was ok once, all words came without
that scratch to a bed head, that fridge
stocked before last sale date, a mate that asked
what was wrong when strength seemed to disappear.

I’ll write a note to self, a list of what came easy
once upon a time, but now I’ve forgotten the Frigidaire
is empty and I’ll stumble back to where dreams
were once sweet. 

Edward Rochester Esq.
