The cock crows at dawn
telling you to get attached
Your bladder nudges
yelling it’s time to let go
The difference
between the two
is just as knotty
as your next poker move
The contrast is set
in concrete
evoking smiles and heartaches
Don’t learn nothing
from the past
All your valuable lessons
Are molded
into this moment

I liked the contrasting opening images. Welcome and discomfort side by side.

Good.
As a purist and not a fan of American English, I would prefer to see ‘Learn nothing’ rather than saying. in effect, ‘do learn something’.

This is wonderful, Gbolabo. Thank you! I love the focus on detachment and being in the here and now. I’m hosting An Evening of Gratitude, and there’s a quote that comes to mind when I read this poem, and also your About page. It’s by my spiritual mentor John-Roger. See below.
Happy New Year to you. I really enjoyed this poem – and the photo.
Blessings,
Debbie
“Gratitude is a choice, an attitude, an approach towards life. My gratitude for this moment does not depend on what is going on in this moment; it is the moment, regardless of what is going on, that I am grateful for. My gratitude for this breath is not about the breath. It’s that I am breathing, that I recognize it comes from a higher source, and that I am alive. Gratitude is a moment-to-moment celebration.”
~John-Roger, DSS
