What No Longer Works? by Amrita Skye Blaine

 

Eva Bronzini

What No Longer Works? 

Why keep it? Send

It’s on its way

that thought, trinket

white elephant


Especially thoughts

Mean-spirited,

chuck it. Smoother,

softer ones will come

If they don’t, ditch

those, too.

No space for rude,

unfriendly,

that bucket’s filled

overflowing

flooding
