Unplugged

When I’ve passed a restless night,
and once more welcome morning light,
I do not leave a lover’s grasp.
No knitted legs need to unclasp.
What time on waking I can afford
is spent by me, unwinding cord:
the earbud cord around my neck,
my PC power cord from the wreck
of pillows, comforter and sheet
that somehow, now, are at my feet.
My MacBook Air, just by my shoulder
has come unplugged and so is colder
to my touch. It won’t power on.
Then, when plugged in, my poem is gone.

 

The Friday Reminder and Stream of Consciousness prompt is “plug.”

About lifelessons

My blog, which started out to be about overcoming grief, quickly grew into a blog about celebrating life. I post daily: poems, photographs, essays or stories. I've lived in countries all around the globe but have finally come to rest in Mexico, where I've lived since 2001. My books may be found on Amazon in Kindle and print format, my art in local Ajijic galleries. Hope to see you at my blog.

    tragic ending. One time I lost a whole chapter of 12 pages. I was thinking as I wrote it. …’This is the best writing I’ve ever done.’ I did keep saving. YEs. Truly i did.

    I wrote it again. It wasn’t the same but it was okay. My love for computer was totally shattered. Ann o garcia
