Sought-out careers stagnant
communication with colleagues
soaked with commitments –
underlying imposed courtesy
we are doubly dependent –
mutual caregivers supporting
water treading, our authority
drowning in preset obligations
Past dwellings, connections
sopped with history, hold on –
leftover dregs, stale-dated –
their validity disappearing,
We are overcoming, debriefing,
navigating release, minimilizing
plan to alter direction, trade
accommodations, rest willingly
have boarded sanctity – a timely
cubicle of release, slotting an exit,
having transformed belonging –
are wrung out seeking drier ground.
