doldrums

michael raven poems July 27, 2022 1 Minute

today, i weary
of rinserepeatlaundrylife
get up, piss, shower
eat breakfast
and rummage around
my head for where
i left the little motivation
i had yesterday
to do what i do not want
to be what i am not
waiting in prayer
for something
better

doldrums dragging
my soul around

I was literally telling my husband this morning how tired I am of doing all the lame, boring things like cleaning and cooking. I’m burned out on these kinds of tasks.

  Ugh. Me too. I want to be rich in the next world so I can have some do all my dishes and cleaning for me.
