“The Rotation” is part of BELatina’s poetry and empowerment series.
The Rotation
Poetic minds
confront dark nights
and enter revolving doors
where thought remains
Stagnant motion
A continuous rotation ensues,
much like the late nights
when smoke filled my lungs
the way nothing good filled my senses
Numbed emotions with
no mental strength spent considering
On and on it goes
The nightly revolutions lead to
lengthy mornings embracing
the comfort of a still bed
A place of peace,
madness
Escapes do not exist, only change
