18. Coat hanger for the soul


We need a rest every now and then

Just to hang up our soul for a short while and enjoy the empty shells we are

Mine dangles from a melted pencil or a shaved candle most nights

Airing ready for it’s next outing.

Sometimes I casually throw it over the back of a chair or dash it on the floor.

Sometimes I let it stay there for days.

I’ve even left it in hotel rooms and tents.

It’s behind me now

Blocking the dust from my microphone

Swaying slightly

Waving at me every time I walk past it
