Regrets
A pile of these organisms
pool to form an organic Loch Ness
beastie,
latching on to miles and miles
of time spent in trial and error,
stops and starts, take-off and failure:
an unkind tone; a lie which morphed
into another lie and breathed a lateral
contrived existence -
this frozen pool of regrets fractures;
deep wounds refusing to heal.
Some call them learning curves,
others coin them mistakes of a kind,
whatever term of endearment is used,
the bottom line is that more often than not -
regrets tend to rot the gut.
