Wilderness of Regret

R.M. Dolin, December 23, 2023

Another sleepless night spent
methodically dissecting
all those times I sensed your hesitation,
beating myself up 
for not saying something
when I know I should. Final judgement is
painfully harsh, banished to the 
isolated wilderness of regret where
moments of silence are amplified in cold echoes
bouncing poorly off the uncaring walls of
my darkening arroyo.
