Ides

Biscuits baking in the oven,

Rain pours down outside -

My head is full of internal noise;

It hurts, but I am not unhappy.

I have learned to ignore those things

which stand in the way of life.

The bass player up stairs is trying,

he practices his riffs

but does not form a song.

A cat sleeps on curtains that have fallen

and no one seems concerned.

I have no thoughts, just feelings

ill formed and unclear yet there.

Stuffed with things I did not choose,

The smell of biscuits bring me back.

They are my anchor to here and now.
