I really like the imagery in this poem, even if it is pretty sad.
Clean Break
Making your rounds, a new morning
Stirs, a honeycomb adorning
The stark silhouette of tree-tops,
A chrysalis of stars that drops
Its dark shell into the coffee pot.
Stiff smelling, out to local shops
You go, the old familiar stops;
Inside a mug some flowers rot,
Making your rounds.
Down the fridge, petals mourning,
Falling past son’s art: a warning,
Scraping the sinews. The soiled mops
You use that act as callous props
Caught in a stale, old-fashioned plot,
Making your rounds.
