"Undone"

by Max Phineas

I'm finding some excuse not to pack
...My iPod needs an update
...I need to collect my thoughts.

I want to go back
But I don't.
I listen to my jaw click
My head bobs to my mind's tick

Tick...tick...

My thoughts are clouded by champagne and weariness
My suitcase lies open, empty on the floor.

Tomorrow I'll go back and restart this
But I wish I just had one tomorrow more.

I'll love it once I get there
I love it even now
But I feel so unfulfilled here
Unrelaxed, unrefreshed, unrevived...


...Undone.

Author's Note: I need to remember how to relax...or learn.

There're these snipits of rhythm that just blow me away here... And knowing the feeling kind of helps with loving the poem, as well.
