‘Visons’ by Jefferson Muncy Art
I’m so up and down
nightmares
falling about the place
picking myself up
dreaming
dusting myself off
planning my future
scared
neither here nor there
clearing clutter
turfing rubbish
cleaning
pulling out weeds
rotating my garden
sleeping
up all hours
drinking coffee
high
low
bursting into tears
mowing the lawn
numb
lonely and tired
keeping appointments
shopping
feeding the cats
cuddling the dog
rearranging furniture
another movie
hungry
empty
moving this way and that
taking big chunks out
falling
waking
on a shoestring budget
/
wondering where it all went
wrong
