A poem about blowing off steam and sometimes that steam comes back or never really left. Just something that I was thinking about a while back and had been dealing with, a steam cycle. This is a poem I still think about now and then. Originally posted in April 2022.

&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;Collision With Previously Blown Off Steam&nbsp;

 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;By: A.X.

You never really expect to run into the steam you blew off in the past&nbsp;

 

Steam is supposed to be something that comes and goes not something that actually lasts&nbsp;

 

But sometimes it will linger when the environment for it is just right&nbsp;

 

When that happens it doesn't really go away but stays around merely out of front facing sight&nbsp;

 

When that happens as new steam builds and there's preparation to billow out some more

 

You bump right into the reheated steam from before&nbsp;

 

Not as hot as it would have been if it was fresh but still not a pleasant experience regardless

 

Knowing when you'll collide into this past steam is difficult to say though for steam is chartless&nbsp;

 

It can be interesting and bittersweet to run into though&nbsp;

 

For steam when blown off can take many shapes and vary wildly in how it looks if you didn't already know&nbsp;

 

There is both a sense of satisfaction and annoyance as it surrounds you getting in the way

 

Present melding and floating around with the past as you struggle to keep either at bay&nbsp;

 

Steam can take many forms as mentioned but sometimes it's best to just leave it be&nbsp;

 

You already put it out there to linger on past your initial feelings&nbsp;

 

It'll be there to look back on and let it go on as you sit back and let yourself try to be free
