Relief 


I look at the blank screen. 

I look at the mismatched alphabet.

My fingers glid over black keys

my lungs burning like I had run a race

while sitting.


My thumb answers the call of the green arrow.

My heart once the size of an elephant.

The bright screen reads my woes.


All while I was sitting.

All while I was sitting.


A message so small

with a massive meaning.

My heart the weight of an elephant

now the weight of a kite.
