How come I go to sleep with you
yet wake up
alone
 Jul 2022 pilgrims
ghost queen
a dragonfly
set me off

i realized
i didn’t hear insects
didn’t see birds

just felt
the sun
searing
scorching
parching
the earth
dissecting
my body
sapping away
my will to live
End
The end came quicker
than either of us expected
I would have marked it
somehow
if I had known
not quite a party
but maybe
an inappropriate balloon?

Instead of worrying like a human all of the time, try being at peace like the trees for a while.
