pathways

by Mary Frances Spencer



what we keep
which to discard
constantly discerning
brain liquid

human nature
ordered from chaos
electric impulses
can’t be neatly shelved
or filed away inside

free flow
information
connects

before stacking
each vertebrae
along the pathways
of
alignment

Author's Note: I'm really cleaning up around here during our small remodel, and also feeling a kind of brain shift as I attempt to get better organized and decide what to keep and what to let go of. MFS

Mary Frances you have a nice theme going here. Each time I move I discard a little more so the kids have less to get rid of in the not too distant future. You keep me thinking that I need to presue more the why of needing to hold on to certain nearly useless items. Books and music are too of my most cherished items. Almost everything else can go except for my PC. Nice write lady.
