Linger

Linger
By: James Dubeau

Why can’t that
Which should have been gone
Long ago
Be shaken free
From the far back reaches
Why must it linger
With the cobwebs
And dust
Poking out
When least expected
When most unprepared
To deal with it
Why can’t it be
Pushed away
Out of sight
Never to be seen from
Again
