Dancing After The Storm

- welcoming weather changes -

A creaky rocking chair
and a few tired records,
playing
in old-fashioned boredom,
narcotize me.
...and I stand,
under an Indian ink sky
that threatens to blow
old souvenirs away.

In a way, I imagine
that an explosion
would make my days lighter,
pulverizing laden pots
and their corrupt content.
...Finally ,
they would all be
scattered like the ashes
of an old enemy.

Yet,
getting rid
of a long-lived ball and chain
and especially
of the fallen foe's corpse
deserves respect,
so clad in black tonight,
I will dance
and gently wave
to the dust - flying
like moths in the wind -.

Loved the atmosphere you create and the analogy to freeing one's self. Refreshing and new, just like the feeling after a storm. Excellent poem. - David

Even when one is ridding oneself of the burden and or weight of life's journey, there still is the imagination that runs with thoughts of waving goodbye. I liked how your poem began with the repetitive boredom and then the thought...narcotize...as though one is drugged and going through its sense of drowziness...I guess life can at times grasp and hold one that way...

nice work, Axilea...
enjoyed, Art Sun...

Axilea,

As the StormSpinner, I loved the energy of this dance, of getting rid of the ball and chain that held you back. Excellent!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

"...getting rid of a long-lived ball and chain..." what a line, how we all tend to carry that ball and chain long after reason and good sense tell us we shouldn't have carried it in the first place, ah but when the release comes it is like an orgasmic release of burden.

when a special enemy is overcome, we realize we came very close to being defeated ourselves, and the time to rejoice arrives ...

I love it--a goodbye dance. Not dancing on the grave like a wicked little elf, but respectfully dancing goodbye to an unconventional enemy. --Shows real dignity and respect. When the dust all settles, a grainy kind of peace may come--its fibers smoothing over time. Blow on, wind. Blow on.
