Mom called
That is the third time this week
Wanting to know
If I am okay,
And whether I will be coming home this month
One I have not been to
In three years.

Starring, listening,
The iPhone 11 ringing
Unphased, unhinged,
I just want to be.
I want to disappear,
Need to take the edge off,
Where is my pen.

I want it fade before my worries,
Like ash before turbulent wind.
I want to succumb to mental pressures,
Like a weak wall,
Shaken by earth tremor.

I want to feel weightless,
Like clouds in the firmament.
I want to breathe,
Without having to think.
Love,
Without having to feel.

Negative thoughts filling my mind again,
Need my quick fix,
Not pills, weed, or sex,
I just need a paper,
And a bloody damn pen.
