“History is always changing behind us, and the past changes a little every time we retell it.” Hilary Mantel
Even Now I really don't want to inhabit the past, to be its victim of obsessions that exhaust and imprison, all those tangled feelings looking for expiation from the complex web of experiences that clutch so tightly, and even now, with faint trace, haunting me with what ifs and maybes.

The past can be tenacious. Sometimes it just won’t go away.

That haunting never leaves us! We are all prisoners of past, isn’t it! So well said, Paul.

Your intriguing poem reminded me of these lines in Leonard Cohen’s song/poem ‘The Goal” … Now is the essence …
“I move with the leaves
I shine with the chrome
I’m almost alive
I’m almost at home
No one to follow
And nothing to teach
Except that the goal
Falls short of the reach”
