let today be the day you stop being haunted by the ghost of yesterday
~
animus
on a poster
on a dingy wall
in the room where
the meetings were held
were these spiritual words
no ill will, hostility, bitterness
no matter how ugly the jealousy
dissatisfaction, rancour, antagonism
there is no justification for resentments
not here, not with one you loved, not ever

in a bar hunted by singles
drinking and smoking alone
is no panacea for resentments
