It is anywhere, anytime
No specific rhyme
Her familiar frail voice
Once beckoning, now chiding
“leave me alone. You don’t need me anymore.
Bury me and all what makes you stumble.”
For a moment I see her clear
She is weight I have carried
She is stagnant water with no inlet nor outlet
A season long passed
I am no longer her
I have shed her skin
Two coats I cannot wear
Another has made me new
dVersepoetspub.com takes a look at narrative poetry. A place, a time, (here, in a moment of time), an observer (myself), a tense, (present), introducing with imagery, a lesson (discovery), a transformation.
Yeah, okay.
This is so beautifully sad, Mary!

Love the image of the two coats… once new you cannot be the old.

Nice last two lines: “Two coats I cannot wear
Another has made me new”
