a simple plea

[Magpie]

Hi TqB, i agree a lot with knot so sorry for too much duplication

i’ve misplaced my life
if you find it
please return it here  - this feels more like a conclusion than a beginning for this poem

maybe if i get it back
these night sweats will stop

my dog barks incessantly
at the Egyptian geese  
who’ve shown up to fill the void  - best stanza, excellent imagery and probably should be the start of the poem

my wife doesn’t seem concerned
she just wants me to be happy

is this how things are supposed to end?
if so, then that’s okay

but a little definition would be nice

it's all there i would say - it just needs slightly rearranging

cheers
