Senti-Mentalism

[digna_sofia]

Never forget, but
do not linger.

Motion leaves emotion
of the worst kind
behind:
stillness (worse, return)
twists an inch
every time.

Fish for familiarity but
don't take another dive.

Just swim
move forward

breathe
stay alive.

i know i'm way off base but it
reads to me like its about a sperm

i like the way it flows.
the last three couplets
work well.

i get a feeling of
not wanting to dwell on now
(the now not being too nice a place)

the last couplet saying; go with the flow.

thanks for the read digna

Love this one, probably one of my favorites of yours.You use words like a surgeon uses a scalpel

My very, very minor comment would be that I wouldn't have chosen it to end where it did. It felt like a tense line, which was at odds with the 'letting go' vibe implicit in the poem. (But then again, maybe my interpretation of the line is tainted, where it sounds desperate even though it isn't meant to be)
